"Facing irreversible climate change, the planet is on route to apocalypse

To understand the scale of what faces us and how it ramifies through every corner of our lives is to marvel at our inaction. Why aren’t we holding emergency meetings in every city, town and village every week?

What is to be done to create a planet where a communist horizon offers a new dawn to replace our planetary twilight? What does it mean to be a communist after we have hit a climate tipping point?

The Tragedy of the Worker reflects on capitalism’s death drive, the left’s complicated entanglements with fossil fuels, and the rising tide of fascism. In response, the Salvage Collective proposes Salvage Communism, a programme of restoration and reparation that must precede any luxury communism, setting out a new way to think about the Anthropocene. The Tragedy of the Worker demands an alternative future – the Proletarocene – one capable of repairing the ravages of capitalism and restoring the world."
