Rupture - Eco-socialist Quarterly
Rupture - Eco-socialist Quarterly
Capitalism’s contradictions are sharpening. An accelerated accumulation of wealth produces deepening exploitation, abuse, extinction and death. A perfect storm of crises - economic, political, environmental, and now health - is bearing down on the capitalist system and on workers, young people, and the oppressed. From all corners of the world, the working class will respond with explosive movements. Furious worldwide protests against racist police violence are a harbinger of things to come. We face an ideologically weakened, politically fractured, and debt-burdened capitalist class that will not hesitate to devour the earth and all life on it in its pursuit of profit. How should Marxists respond? A new period demands new strategy, new tactics, and new forms of organisation. We must shake off the outdated schema and rid ourselves of ineffective and anachronistic methods. While working to construct a mass revolutionary party, we must strive to be more democratically organised and organically connected to all the real movements of workers and the oppressed. So too with our theory and analysis. While developing Marxist methods, we must broaden the terrain upon which we apply them - from capitalist social relations to the metabolic rift that capitalism has forced between nature and humanity. Rupture is a contribution to that effort from RISE members. In each issue, we aim to analyse current trends in capitalist society, explore new ideas and research to expand our understanding, and attempt to answer the question facing all revolutionaries - what is to be done in the 21st century?

Discourse Blog - Politics and culture from the left
Discourse Blog is a leftist politics and culture site. We operate as a fully worker-owned, independent collective. We write a lot about: political movements, uprisings, the woeful Democratic establishment, the conservative death cult, bad journalism, bad bosses, workers, online nonsense, and, naturally, the discourse. We also just like getting weird or personal.

Grist
Grist

Grist is a nonprofit, independent media organization dedicated to telling stories of climate solutions and a just future. Our goal is to use the power of storytelling to illuminate the way toward a better world, inspire millions of people to walk that path with us, and show that the time for action is now.

Since 1999, we have used the power of journalism to engage the public about the perils of the most existential threat we face. Now that three-quarters of Americans recognize that climate change is happening, we’ve shifted our focus to show that a just and sustainable future is within reach.

Fix — our Solutions Lab — builds on our journalism by connecting and elevating the people who make change happen through storytelling, events, and network-building.

At Grist we engage our audience to ensure that as progress is made — and we assure you, it’s being made — no one is left behind. We have until roughly 2030 to dramatically slash our carbon emissions to lessen the greatest impacts of climate change — and we need to innovate and adapt to a future that is quickly becoming a reality. We’re committed to the stories, the people, and the ideas that will make this possible.
