Politics Theory Other #107: Climate activism and the fetishisation of nonviolence with Andreas Malm
Andreas Malm on why the climate movement is so fiercely committed to nonviolence, how that hinders climate activism, and how the advocates of nonviolence edit the history of popular struggles and liberations movements in order to downplay the importance of the more militant wings of those struggles, with Alex Doherty on the Politics Theory Other podcast.
