About/Contact
CLIMATE AND CAPITALISM is an online journal focusing on capitalism, climate change, and the ecosocialist alternative. It has three goals:
To provide news and analysis to inform, educate and develop the green left;
To contribute to building an international movement against capitalist destruction of the environment and for ecosocialism;
To encourage and facilitate collaboration and exchanges of views among socialists and ecology activists.
The opinions expressed in individual articles are not necessarily those of the editor.
Comments Policy: If you want to argue that global warming isn’t real, please go elsewhere: comments from deniers and similar trolls will be deleted. Otherwise, we encourage comradely discussion and debate on the subjects covered in this journal.
About the Editor: Just to avoid confusion: I am not the Ian Angus who teaches at Simon Fraser University, and I am not the Iain Angus who used to be a Member of Parliament for the NDP, and I am not the Ian Angus who is a lawyer for some satellite and telecom companies. Sometimes we get each other’s mail, but otherwise we are not connected.
I am the Ian Angus who wrote Canadian Bolsheviks: The Early Years of The Communist Party of Canada, and who used to host a blues music program called “Let the Good Times Roll” on CIUT-FM in Toronto. My most recent book is The Global Fight for Climate Justice: Anticapitalist Responses to Global Warming and Ecological Destruction.
My other online political projects include Socialist Voice, the Socialist History Project , and Reading from the Left. I am a founding member of the Ecosocialist International Network.
I live in a geo-thermally heated/cooled farmhouse in eastern Ontario, south of Ottawa, Canada’s capital city. When I am not “doing politics,” I listen to blues, classic R&B and soul music, read mystery novels and occasionally science fiction, and watch more television than I ought to.
