We are on a runaway train headed over the climate cliff as we stoke the engine with more coal to increase its speed. - John Bellamy Foster

Marx once said that workers (and this would perhaps go for consumers even more) are in their purely economic action in a capitalist society always the weaker side, and therefore they need to organize politically.

It has been long understood that “” is a myth. To make fundamental changes in the commodity economy it is necessary to have power over production.

To say that capitalism is a failed system is not, of course, to suggest that its breakdown and disintegration is imminent. It does, however, mean that it has passed from being a historically necessary and creative system at its inception to being a historically unnecessary and destructive one in the present century.
