Kohei Saito's 'Dark Socialism' as a Response to Capitalist Collapse
Philosopher Kohei Saito, known for his ecomarxist analyses, argues in his new book 'Am Ende des Fortschritts' for a dictatorship of the proletariat as a solution to the intertwined crises of climate collapse and fascism. He predicts a temperature rise of up to three degrees Celsius by 2100, leading to resource wars among national bands.
