Ecosocialist author, Ian Angus, talks with Steve about his book Metabolic Rifts: Capitalism’s Assault on the Earth System. They explore the deep, sometimes invisible ways that capitalism disrupts the planet’s fundamental life cycles –– from soil depletion and artificial fertilizers to the carbon cycle driving global warming. Ian traces the concept of “metabolic rift” from Marx and Engels through a long socialist lineage, making the case that ecological critique has always been central to the Marxist tradition. (Indeed, some Marxists might argue that “eco-” is an unnecessary qualifier; “socialism” is enough!) Steve brings up the MMT basics challenging the austerity narrative that blocks ecological reconstruction. He reminds us that the state, as the currency issuer, can de-commodify the essentials of life, namely food, water, housing, and healthcare. However, as Ian bluntly states: “The problem is that it’s not our government, it’s their government.” Reformism and electoralism are dead ends. While listeners may disagree with some of Ian’s interpretations of Soviet history, those comments do not negate the episode’s compelling analysis that capitalism’s DNA demands endless accumulation and profit. Combating the ecological crisis is inseparable from the struggle to overcome capitalism.

NEW EP! 🎙️ @ecosocialism1 joins @sdgrumbine to explore Marx’s concept of the metabolic rift and why ecological breakdown is rooted in capitalism’s need for endless accumulation. realprogressives.org/mnc-pod…

"We must remain in constant dialogue with #nature if we are not to die." Karl Marx over a century ago. He saw #capitalism breaking the metabolic cycle - taking from the #earth and discarding as waste. Full ep ft @ecosocialism1 Sat 6/13 @ 8 am ET. Link to all our eps in comment 👇

"Why do you have to say ecosocialism?" Because capitalism is destroying the conditions that make human civilization possible. And after the revolution we still have to deal with saltwater in farmland and coastal cities under water. That requires planning now. Full ep ft ecosocialism1.bsky.social Sat 6/13 @ 8 am ET.

The Complicit Lens: How US Media Helped Normalize Genocide in Gaza ft. @MediaPhiled of @ProjectCensored. Join us for the YouTube premiere tonight @ 7 pm ET! #Media #Gaza #Genocide youtube.com/watch?v=sSNaXE1J…

Ahhhh finally. Finally. Finally.

This is a story of class. Unfortunately its an old story. It covers the electoral process as well. Control. Power. Placebo effects. In the end, understanding the MOTIVES are absolutely NOT innocent should be the next evolution of MMT activists. No more pollyanna.

Power... class. Sometimes it feels like Christopher Columbus claiming to discover the New World...

Raise the government debt ceiling to infinity to provide a more flexible fiscal framework for fiscal solvency in perpetuity. Make the payroll tax more progressive. As @DeanBaker13 once emphasized, the social security crisis is a phony crisis.

What can one person do against empire? Read "The Plague." The doctor knows he can't save everyone. He helps anyway. #FrancescaAlbanese knows she can't stop the genocide. She tells the truth anyway. #empire Link to full ep: realprogressives.org/mnc-pod…

A great role model is @FranceskAlbs - the intrepid truth teller. They tried to destroy her. #Sanctions & smears & isolation. She didn't stop. This is how #resistance works. Link to full ep ft @MediaPhiled of @ProjectCensored in comment 👇

Episode 383 – The Complicit Lens with Robin Andersen New episode available on our 'free' #substack, and as always on our website realprogressives.org. Link to both below. 👇

A primary reason for the US Revolution was that colonists wanted to steal land in the West but were banned by the Crown (imagine making the British Empire look tempered). It wasn't just some rosy fight for civil liberties. Fundamentally, the US is a settler-colony like Israel.

U.S. #media didn't just watch #genocide in #Gaza - they enabled it. Corporate press enforced Zionist narratives, dehumanized Palestinians, & hid Israeli war crimes. Listen to our newest @CheeseMacro ep. ft. @MediaPhiled of @ProjectCensored realprogressives.org/mnc-pod…
