• This episode features a lecture by Dr Paul Oquist Kelly and a Q&A about his book Equilibra. Dr Oquist’s wonderful book critiques the core alienations by which capitalism impedes our consciousness of climate catastrophe and the full spectrum dominance sought by US imperialism in maintaining that capitalist world order. However, in keeping with Sandinista internationalism, Dr Oquist’s project is also a participatory call to mass mobilisation and action and a vision of alternative, anti-imperialist modes of thought and consciousness.

‘EQUILIBRA IS AN OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION TO THE POLITICAL, PHILOSOPHICAL, IMAGINATIVE AND SOCIAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO US IN THE FIGHT AGAINST IMPERIALISM AND CAPITALISM. ITS SHINING BRILLIANCE ILLUMINATES THE PATHWAYS THROUGH WHICH WE WILL PREVENT PLANETARY DISASTER AND CONSTRUCT A MORE JUST AND EQUITABLE WORLD. PAUL’S LUMINOUS VISION BECKONS US WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A BETTER WORLD AND IT IS OUR TASK TO JOIN TOGETHER AND TO FIGHT TO BRING INTO BEING THAT REDEEMED FUTURE IN WHICH PAUL’S LIVING LEGACY AWAITS US WITH HIS WARM EMBRACE.’
