Cómo dinamitar un oleoducto

Climate change is an unappealable reality. However, after decades of petition campaigns, protests and demonstrations, the fossil industry continues to grow, as do temperatures, sea levels and other extreme weather events. If we are risking absolutely everything, our lives and our future, why haven't we gone beyond peaceful protest? Andreas Malm (world expert on climate change, as well as a militant committed to the sabotage of coal mines and hyper-polluting vehicles) launches an ardent call for the climate movement to intensify and diversify its tactics in order to avoid ecological collapse. Thus, Malm offers us a brief history of the achievement of our fundamental rights (from the abolition of slavery to the Arab Spring, through the revolt of the suffragettes, the workers' struggles and the Civil Rights Movement) and concludes in a It is irrefutable that, in all these cases, the destruction of property and violence were essential to obtain the privileges that many of us enjoy today and that give meaning to our lives. Consequently, now that the right to life is at risk, we need to immediately stop the extraction of fossil fuels aimed at continuing to enrich the few. How? Linking climate militancy to a broad anti-capitalist current. Remembering that the struggle to make ends meet and to avoid the end of the world are the same. Daring to put a face on our enemy: "More ice caps, fewer private jets." Assuming we have too much at stake for the climate movement to remain the polite cousin of the big family of social unrest. Learning to disrupt the normality of fossil capital and its investments with our actions and our bodies.
