If crisis defines our era we need a coherent socialist policy in response. Ståle Holgersen
delves into today’s economic and ecological crises to demonstrate that they are not exceptions
to an otherwise functioning system but integral to its operation. It is naive to see these
upheavals as opportunities for reform or revolution. They are the bedrock of the status quo.
Fortunately the vicious circle sustaining capitalism is not founded on an iron law. Our
historical mission in the face of the climate crisis is to create a historical exception to the
rule. It is time for ecosocialism against crisis.
