Public Discussion: “Capitalism & the Ecological Crisis”

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.

About Our Masthead

The illustration in the masthead of this publication, With Sober Senses, is an 1843 political cartoon entitled “Prometheus Bound.” It comments on the Prussian government’s suppression of the Rheinische Zeitung, a newspaper Karl Marx edited in 1842 and 1843. Marx is chained to the printing press; the bird gnawing at him is the Royal Prussian eagle.
