DESCRIPTION:Thursday Nov 4, 4pm Pacific Time\nLivestreamed from RevBooks NYC, come 
 watch the livestream at RevBooks Berkeley:\n \nFor all who care about the 
 planet and the future of humanity...\n \nGlasgow and the Ticking 
 Environmental Clock...\nWe Need SYSTEM CHANGE to Deal with Climate Change\n 
 \nPanel Discussion with\nRaymond Lotta (revolutionary political 
 economist)\nAshley Dawson (environmental scholar/activist)\n \nThe speakers 
 will present and debate their perspectives on how to address this dire 
 situation.\n \nEVENT is In-Person, and will also be LIVESTREAMED 
 at:\nYouTube.com/RevolutionBooks1 OR\nFacebook.com/RevBooksNYC\n \nJoe 
 Biden pontificates at Glasgow about the U.S. now being the climate 
 leader...while just days earlier he urges the world's largest energy 
 producers to ramp up oil and natural gas production. \n \nGlasgow is the 
 latest of the annual charades of empty promises and pledges from the 
 representatives of a system: capitalism-imperialism. A system whose 
 heartbeat is the competitive drive for profit and more profit--which puts 
 it at war with nature.\n \nSome environmental groups have argued that our 
 best and last hope is to pressure the Democrats to adopt Biden's "Build 
 Back Better" program. Really? The most unrealistic thing--the definition of 
 insanity--is to rely on and work within the confines of the system that has 
 brought us to this brink of utter climate catastrophe.\n \nJoin us at this 
 urgent forum:\n--What is the underlying cause of this climate 
 crisis?\n--What is the kind of system change needed? \n--What does it mean 
 to act with urgency now to save the planet?\n \nAshley Dawson is an author, 
 environmental scholar, and activist. His books include Extinction: A 
 Radical History, Extreme Cities, and People's Power: Reclaiming the Energy 
 Commons. He teaches in the City University of New York system.\n.\nRaymond 
 Lotta is a political economist who has written widely on the environmental 
 crisis. He is a follower of the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian and an 
 advocate for the new communism brought forward by Avakian. Lotta helped 
 develop "Some Key Principles of Socialist Sustainable Development."\n\n
