The political class…how incredibly short sighted. Yes of course you should be furious at the political class, but you should be more angry at the ruling class of capitalists that control the political class. Shell oil invented climate science, they predicted all of this back in the late 70s, and then they knowingly covered it up. They invented climate science and then they invented climate change denial.
The ruling capitalist class can’t change course, and they can’t run society any longer. The profit motive is no way to organize society, that should be abundantly clear to anyone with eyes. Yes the political class who covered for companies committing environmental destruction should pay, as well as the ineffectual political class who played nice and told you to vote all these years so they could fundraise off of these issues.
There needs to be a new political class composed of us, the working class, who can combat these careerists and grifters directly by seizing control of the factories and forging a new rational system that can meet peoples needs and launch human society into the future, not keep it mired in the old incentives and systems that destroy it.
We can’t vote our way out of this, by no possible metric is it possible. We need new forms of democracy and political engagement. For decades they told us if you recycled you could fix this. They were lying. Noone is coming to save us we have to save ourselves, but together as one. Please.
