Afghanistan

BY SKYPE, SUNDAY, JAN. 30, 1-3 PM EASTERN STD. TIME (6-8 PM IN UK)

On our new statement, “Capitalism and the Ecological Crisis.” The climate crisis won’t and can’t be solved without overthrowing capitalism. The source of the problem isn’t ill will, ideology, or greed, but capitalism’s law of value and the reckless, anarchic growth that flows from it.

Participation is by invitation. Write a few lines about yourself and what interests you about MHI and send to mhi@marxisthumanistinitiative.org by Jan. 22.
