“Extinction Rebellion somewhat succeeded in its goal to break the wall of climate denial which was hampering necessary progress. Critics have rightly argued though, that to move forwards, we need a shared ‘overstanding’ of the colonialist, capitalist, political economy that has the destruction of people and planet as its core operating system, as well as a visionary alternative to cohere around. In this compelling, thoughtfully explained book, Allan Todd offers us both, with a radical and feasible proposal for our Ecosocialist future. Let’s dream and build together, For the Earth to Live!”
Dr. Gail Bradbrook, Co-Founder Extinction Rebellion

“This book does a wonderful job of dissecting the Catalan independence movement, analysing its victories, defeats, and the broader implications of its strategic decisions. We are provided with profound insights into the interplay of internal weaknesses and state repression, whilst offered a nuanced critique of both leadership choices and institutional crises. A timely exploration of political dynamics, and enduring challenges, this book is essential for understanding Catalonia’s past and envisioning its future.”

Palestine and Marxism provides an introduction to the Palestinian issue and a background to the current war on Gaza and engages in the strategic debates about how to win liberation. The framework is that the Palestinian struggle is inextricably linked to revolutionary processes in the Middle East and North Africa, and against all states in the region and especially Israel.

“What light can a Marxist analysis and perspective bring to our understanding of the Question of Palestine? This useful primer provides an overview of how the various topics related to the question can be apprehended from a socialist internationalist standpoint.”

For the last twenty years, William I. Robinson has been developing a new theory of capitalism and the state; now his selected writings are collected in War, Global Capitalism and Resistance. His theory of capitalism, imperialism, and the state — describing a transnational capitalist world, a global police state, and the resistance to them — derives from earlier Marxists theories but also transforms and develops them. His writings challenge us to rethink our understanding of capitalism and the class struggle. This compact book contributes to contemporary Marxist theory and should be widely read and debated on the left.
