"The most complete book I've read on the nature of our historical moment." - Stephen Radecki, The Swoletariat // "Gripping from start to finish." - Mathew Bartlett, Goodreads // Socialism or Extinction: Climate, Automation and War in the Final Capitalist Breakdown is a systematic Marxist analysis of the unprecedented crises engulfing humanity, arguing that: - capitalism per se - because its ever-growing dependence on exploiting labour makes the labour-intensity of extraction-based production increasingly necessary - is the cause of and can only continue to accelerate the climate crisis; - the solution to the climate crisis requires value creation to become based on utility instead of exploitation and profit, thereby ending the absolute economic dependence on extraction and enabling a transition to production based predominantly on nuclear, mycelium, hemp and other fibrous plants - a green industrial revolution that is actually green; - automation is eliminating the sole source of profit - capital's exploitation of commodity-producing human labour - meaning capitalism is heading unavoidably, in purely economic terms, towards a final, insurmountable economic breakdown; - socialism (the lower stage of communism) - the social ownership of production; a (digital) voucher system pegged to labour time; and central planning of utility- (as opposed to commodity-) production, on a break-even basis - is therefore becoming an economic necessity *for the first time*; - the accumulation crisis is forcing the world's imperialist powers into direct confrontation, meaning humanity faces not one extinction threat, but two. Humanity stands at a world-historic crossroads.
