Episode 57: "Look for New Weapons"

Sep 24, 2019

This week, we critique the climate strike. But, first, some current events.

• Drone strikes hit a Saudi oil field and cut production in half.
• Leaked audio shows Brazil’s army is trying to occupy the Amazon.
• The UAW strike rages on.
• The Climate Strike kicked off this week.

What are the limitations of the strike as a model? How do we move from symbolic protest to direct action? What tools/methods are best suited to combating climate change and capitalist hegemony?
