For Humanity - The case for ecosocialist humanism

Simon Hannah argues that faced with the existential crisis of environmental decay, a universal concept of human freedom is essential to consider the future of life on the Earth, and that we must start from the belief that humanity is worth fighting for. Hannah is the author of books including Reclaiming the Future (Pluto); A Party with Socialists In It - a History of the Labour Left (Pluto), and Why we need anticapitalist resistance (Resistance Books).
