"Anti-speciesism is a movement that understands that human oppression and animal oppression are interlinked through colonialism and capitalism... As we know, with the broader political analysis, we can't consume our way out of capitalist crisis, and if we're still operating within a capitalist system but we're all consuming plant-based that's still not going to be environmentally sustainable."
- Mexie in conversation with Richard Wolff.

Learn more about Prof Wolff's NEW BOOK, "The Sickness is the System: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from Pandemics or Itself," that came out mid-September, on our books page:
www.democracyatwork.info/books

"Richard Wolff stands out for his brilliant exposition that, if capitalism appears unjust, it is because it is irrational, inefficient and wasteful of human and natural resources. The same ‘production lines’ that pump out untold wealth also produce industrial scale discontent and physical sickness. And yet, for most people it was hitherto impossible to imagine a world without capitalism. Covid-19 has put a dent into this corrosive certainty and, now, Prof Wolff’s new book turns this dent into a magnificent source of hope and insight.”
- YANIS VAROUFAKIS
