Det finns en hel del jag finner sympatiskt med boken All in : A revolutionary theory to stop climate change (Eget förlag 2025). Boken vill ta det vi säger i vår aktivistiska retorik seriöst, och utforska ett djup bortom slagorden. Aktivism är inte terapi, det bör inte främst handla om att få känna tillfredsställelse av att ”man gör något”, det viktiga är att vi når våra mål: ”If we tell the public that something should happen and if we don´t have any transformative strategy to get there, then the natural result is a mix of defeatism/submissiveness (for the public) and depression/burnout (for the activists).”

There is a lot I find sympathetic about the book All in: A revolutionary theory to stop climate change. The book wants to take what we say in our activist rhetoric seriously, and explore a depth beyond the slogans. Activism is not therapy, it should not primarily be about feeling the satisfaction of “doing something”, the important thing is that we reach our goals: “If we tell the public that something should happen and if we don’t have any transformative strategy to get there, then the natural result is a mix of defeatism/submissiveness (for the public) and depression/burnout (for the activists).”
