Ecosocialism in the UK

Richard Greeman, the power behind the Victor Serge Society and translator of many of Serge's works, including Unforgiving Years, is presently on a speaking tour of Great Britain, discussing "Capitalist and Ecological Collapse: An Eco-socialist Solution." He says,

"There can be no future without a dream, no progress without the hope of Utopia. So let us then begin now by trying to imagine a technically feasible, ecologically sustainable post-capitalist future and visualizing historically possible roads leading to it. The ‘New Archimedes’ hypothesis  – based on theories of cybernetics, chaos, emergence and Castoriadis’ Content of Socialism – connects a historically proven lever of worker solidarity and a 21st Century philosophical fulcrum (planetary consciousness) and a global electronicplace to stand  (the Internet) where the billions can unite in solidarity in order to lift the earth before it succumbs to capitalist ecocide.”

NOT apropos of the subject, While browsing through an excellent bookstore in Bogota, Colombia last week was surprised to find a box set containing three NYRB titles -- in Spanish! The books looked identical to the English language editions except for the fact that they are in another language (and have the Alfaguara mark on the spine next to yours). One title was Beerbohm's SEVEN MEN, can't remember the other two. Congrats, though, as it's a small but vital step in world domination....
