This pamphlet tackles the question: how do we get from A to B, capitalism to post-capitalism? It is critical reading to understand why: Capitalist-oriented industrial agriculture and its destruction of habitat are the upstream causes that led to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as other past and future pandemics of devastating, emerging viral pathogens; COVID-19 may trigger a collapse of the global capitalist system but it is not the cause; Health-care and public-health systems organized around capitalist principles don’t do well in pandemics, compared to those not organized around capitalist principles; The current economic collapse, triggered by a pandemic, opens a door for revolutionary transformation.
Rinky-dink Revolution involves actions and inactions that are easy, safe, mundane, unglamorous, and feasible within every person’s life.
