<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the final episode of this pandemic edition of Hot &amp; Bothered, Kate and Daniel reflect on the lessons of the last few months and the prospects for ecosocialism in this decade. They discuss a new, $1.5 billion green infrastructure bill introduced by House Democrats; why dismantling the carceral state is key to climate politics; how the climate movement and the left more broadly has advanced in terms of contesting for power over the last decade; and why the zombie neoliberalism metaphor is, itself, undead. </span></p> <p dir="ltr">[contentblock id=3]</p> <p>[contentblock id=2]<br /> [contentblock id=10]</p> <p>[contentblock id=3]</p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many thanks to everyone who pitched in on Patreon to make the season possible.
