    What we really need to do is get every single political party out. There isn’t a single one of them that is willing to do enough to stop climate change or to address inequality.

      Okay, I’m not really sure what your theory of change is, here.

      The only thing that will stop climate change is large scale international agreement. The chances of that happening are small, but they’re better with Labour.

        We need to change our perspectives. Electoral politics isn’t the most important thing for changing our society, it should be quite low on the list.

        What we really need to do to change the world for the better is to substantially change the structure of society. We need to build an alternative structure to what exists - a series of workers co-ops, housing co-ops, social centres, industrial unions, and so on, and once we have such a structure in place we can withhold our labour and stop participating in the exploitative, destructive system that exists now. This would effectively lead to the collapse of the current system in a way that would minimise harm.
