On Fire: The (Burning) Case for a Green New Deal by Naomi Klein

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

2.75

As much as Klein expounds on our climate crisis, I took issue with the central thesis of the book - that a Green New Deal is what we need as opposed to something more radical and brought on by communism and decolonization. I found Klein’s collaboration with sellouts like Ocasio-Cortez to be shameful along with her denouncement of socialism in favor of demsoc movements. I also found her critique of Edward Said to be in poor taste and her stance on Israel to be not strong enough as much as she writes about the environmental damage caused by the ongoing colonization of Palestine.
