Episode 57: “Look for New Weapons”

This week, we critique the climate strike. But, first, some current events. Drone strikes hit a Saudi oil field and cut production in half. Leaked audio shows Brazil’s army is trying to occupy the Amazon. The UAW strike rages on. The Climate Strike kicked off this week. What are the limitations of the strike as a model? How do we move from symbolic protest to direct action? What tools/methods are best suited to combating climate change and capitalist hegemony?
