Angela Y. Davis
“For, if they take you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night.” – James Baldwin
Tariq-ali-f_medium

    Half-Earth Socialism’s Five Book Plan

    As authors Troy Vettese and Drew Pendergrass argue in their thrilling and provocative new book, we must humbly accept that humanity cannot fully understand or control the earth—but we can plan new energy systems, large-scale rewilding, and food production for the common good. 

    Here the authors present their Five Book Plan for imagining a utopian eco-socialist future – or a future at all.
