Climate war and the
billionaire class: Capitalism versus humanity in the fight to save the planet
This forum will
address the "climate war" that has begun and the ecosocialist
solutions needed to address it. More than ever, the line between rich and poor
is a line between survival and death, as inequality and climate change combine
to create new extremes of oppression. A handful of people live in obscene
luxury, while billions are condemned to permanent poverty and hunger – and rich
governments build fences, walls and concentration camps to keep the poor
away.
Speaker Ian
Angus is a long-time activist in socialist and environmental movements in
Canada and internationally.

Green Left Weekly's European correspondent and Socialist Alliance member Dick Nichols, usually based in Barcelona, was in Athens for the historic win. He is speaking across the country about SYRIZA's challenge to austerity and elite rule. Radical leftist party SYRIZA has swept to power in Greece promising to end austerity and threatening to spark an anti-austerity fight-back across Europe. Dick will be speaking this Sunday in Hobart - so don't miss out on this opportunity to learn about this historic victory.
The Hobart Branch of Socialist Alliance invites you to their End of Year BBQ, which will be also be a farewell for Linda and to their last Salamanca stall for the year so please come along and join us.
Our special guest will be Shamikh Badra who is currently touring Australia as he's the youth and students coordinator for the Palestinian People Party in the Palestinian Gaza Strip - so definitely an event not to be missed!
