In this episode of Living The Dream Jon (@JonPiccini) and Dave (@withsobersenses) catch up with Tash Heenan (@tashellenheenan) and Jeremy Poxon (@JeremyPoxon) to discuss the Green New Deal. Jon, Tash and Jeremy are partisans of the Green New Deal, seeing it as a way of addressing immediate concerns and opening pathways to more radical transformations whilst Dave remains something of a half-reformed ultra-left curmudgeon who can do nothing more than yell ‘but the value-form’ at worried passer-bys. We chat about what a Green New Deal may or may not be, if it is an attempt to save or destroy capitalism, its relationship or not with creating communism, the hard limits the environmental crisis imposes, the disappearance of the commons as a concept, and a whole lot more. Writings we reference include: Australia Needs A Green New Deal, Not More Centrism We need a Blak New Deal to fight the climate crisis A Red Deal Three Ways a Green New Deal Can Promote Life Over Capital Responsible minerals sourcing for renewable energy Trade Unions for Energy Democracy Between the Devil and the Green New Deal
