Conclusion
Everything you see in our town, greenhouses, livestock, all shared. Collective ownership … This is a commune. We’re communists.
—Maria, The Last of Us
My next book is out in November 2024! Let’s reclaim the future from the oppressive forces of the far right and the death cult ecocide of the capitalists. Let’s build a world based on collective ownership, social planning and participatory democracy to establish radical abundance for us all.
This book has been around three years in the research and writing. It is based on a passionately held belief of mine that a core part of the radical left project has to be inspiring people for a better world, one free of exploitation and oppression. The reluctance to even really engage in a creative debate of what post-captialist might look like is a serious weakness of ours. Marx might have been reluctant to write ‘cook books for the future’ but we have the experience of the 20th century, and the apparent catastrophic failure of ‘communism’. Unless we can explain what will be different and how we can build it – or at least open a discussion about that – then we will not win. And with the climate crisis accelerating beyond control – we cannot afford to fail again.
