    Degrowth – How anti-worker would it be?

    Originally published: Green Social Thought on October 10, 2023 (more by Green Social Thought)

    One accusation still seems to lack an adequate response: Is the U.S. working class inherently anti-degrowth because it would mean a massive loss of jobs?

    Originally published: Green Social Thought on December 26, 2022 (more by Green Social Thought)

    Life expectancy: The U.S. and Cuba in the time of Covid

    Cuba prepares for disaster

    Originally published: Green Social Thought on March 22, 2022 (more by Green Social Thought)

    Medicare-for-All is a beginning, not the end point

    Originally published: Green Social Thought on August 29, 2020 (more by Green Social Thought)

    As a coup de grâce to the Bernie Sanders campaign Joe Biden declared that he would veto Medicare-for-All. This could drive a dedicated health care advocate to relentlessly pursue Med-4-All as a final goal.

    A statue of Hatuey

    Originally published: Green Social Thought on July 2, 2020 (more by Green Social Thought)

    As monuments to Columbus and confederate heroes topple and Democrats ponder which militarist they wish to glorify in their replacements, it is critical to realize that statues which go up are at least as important as the ones that come down. Perhaps the best nominee for a new statue is Hatuey, who led the first guerrilla warfare against European invasion of the western hemisphere.

    Is nuclear power a solution to the climate crisis?

    Originally published: Green Social Thought on August 24, 2018 (more by Green Social Thought)

    Faith that environmental catastrophe can best be avoided by technological gadgetry rather than a change in social relationships received a big shot in the arm with the May 2018 publication of Energy: A Human History by prolific author Richard Rhodes. Rhodes profoundly misses the connection between technology and class relationships when he presents nuclear power as a socially neutral source of energy. Rather than pointing to a solution for climate change, his radiation denial mirrors Donald Trump’s climate denial in its derogation of scientific research and its personality attacks.
