This episode of The Dig is brought to you by our supporters at patreon.com and by Nplus1 magazine,

which features some of the most urgent and exciting political writing, essays, fiction,

and cultural criticism on the left today.

One new piece that might be of interest to dig listeners is Toby Haslett's magic actions,

which looks back at last summer's uprisings and makes a case for the urgency and efficacy of riots.

Quote, we need not fear that word.

In fact, it's vital to insist over the drone of an amnesiac discourse that last year's spate of protest was

propelled, made fiercely possible by massive clashes in the street, not tainted or delegitimized by them,

nor assembled from thin air. Haslett continues, any left that hopes to assemble its flailing forces must find a way to join the two clearest fronts of conflict. On one hand, build class power by wrestling benefits from the state. On the other, slay the beast that eats the dark and poor.

Welcome to The Dig, a podcast from Jacobin Magazine.

My name is Daniel Denver, and I'm broadcasting from Providence, Rhode Island.

Today's episode is my interview with climate journalist Kate Aronoff on her book,

Overheated, How Capitalism Broke the Planet, and How We Fight Back.

At present, we are not on track to cut carbon emissions deeply and rapidly enough to avoid climate catastrophe.

But politics as we knew them are up in the air. Old taboos around deficit spending are out the window, and young people are mobilized like never before. So how did U.S. and global climate policy and

politics get to their current sorry state, and what is the path forward?

Stay tuned for an in-depth discussion.
