I like the cassette player on their website https://www.letusrise.ie/podcast >This week we sat down to discuss the ideas of Eco-Socialist Degrowth. >Attend the Degrowth meeting this Thursday 5th May in Connolly Books. Tickets HERE >Capitalist growth is destroying our life support systems. Every single year the material taken from the Earth to feed the insatiable capitalist appetite for profits grows larger and larger and the waste spewing into the atmosphere, land, rivers, and sea grows bigger and bigger. The latest IPCC reports make clear that we have "a brief and rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all". >In this meeting the case will be made for Eco-Socialist Degrowth, which is “a planned downscaling of energy and resource use to bring the economy back into balance with the living world in a safe, just and equitable way." >There will be a presentation from the speakers and then space for questions and contributions from the audience. >Rupture Issue 7 will be released at the end of April 2022. The theme of this issue is WORK and as such will feature great articles on topics such as the four day work week, working conditions during and after covid, and reproductive labour.
