If the earth is going to die screaming, as UB40 prophesised, what political forms will emerge before it dies?
For many in the environmental movement, fascism is not just a future threat, but is encapsulated in today's campaigns to save fossil fuels. Worse, those fuels themselves have always been brown - that is fascist, and never green.
I think much of that world view is nonsense, and have set out a three page argument in the current Notes From the Borderland magazine, making that very point. There is also room along the way for comment on political figures as diverse as Paul Mason, Boris Johnson, Roger Hallam, Tommy Robinson, and the National Union of Mineworkers campaign against apartheid.
