Given the recent IPCC report, it's apt that one of the questions posed by the book is "What does it mean to be a communist after we have hit a climate tipping point?"
From the blurb on the book - "Salvage is the most exciting journal to appear on the anglophone left over the past decade: avant-garde Marxism with no illusions, perfectly pitched to our dismal times. Here the formidable Salvage Collective tackles the defining question of those times: the ecological crisis. The result is the most beautiful and urgent essay yet written on what climate catastrophe means for the struggle for communism, in the past, present and future. This is one for the ages.
--Andreas Malm, author of How to Blow Up a Pipeline"
And - since September is a busy month for many of us - the fact that its only 104 pages is a bonus!

I can understand that nomination, Alison; I read it last year and loved it.
i actually wanna nominate a book i just finished, because it was SO GOOD and i need people to talk about it with! it鈥檚 鈥渂order & rule鈥 by harsha walia

This looks like another must-read - that's three strong, and topical, nominations so far.






I'm planning on reading this too. I have an epub download link I could share!
