In pt 2, we delve deeper into the contradictions of environmentalism, the politics behind nuclear power, and look at why many people see capitalist austerity as "socialist" - and how we should respond to that.

In the Afterparty, Phil, George and Alex debate whether environmentalism has evolved, leaving behind its Romantic elements and embracing technology and grander social ambition (though not enough).

Thanks guys great work as usual. What I found especially interesting is that the left is associated with austerity, and I would argue that the German example is no different from this. It was mindblowing to see that in the years leading up to the elections, both the right and the left largely agreed on this.

Environmental politics always seems to suffer from contradictory priorities: solve the definite, scientifically verified problems (global warming, air pollution, etc); wedge in semi-related or unrelated Left priorities (rebuilding trade unions, feminism, antiwar, revolutionary acceleration, etc); or just wage a reactionary campaign against perceived techo-prometheanism (usually on behalf of the ruling class with a noticable eugenic or Malthusian streak).
