In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I’m joined by Matt Huber, author of Climate Change as Class War, to talk about why mainstream climate politics has so often been trapped in consumer guilt, lifestyle moralism, and elite discourse, instead of building power through class politics, labor, energy, and production. We discuss why carbon footprint politics became such a dead end, how the PMC shaped green ideology, why so much environmental messaging alienates ordinary people, and what a serious socialist approach to climate change would actually look like.In this week’s Backroom episode on Patreon, I go further into degrowth, the degrowth debate, and the conflict between ecological limits, abundance, socialism, and industrial modernity.Timestamps:
