Earth Day 2021: Capitalism vs the Earth
Constant growth, expanding markets, and ever-increasing profits are inherent to capitalism, leading to the commodification of everything. To ensure maximum profit, production costs must always be minimized. Imperialism aides capitalists in this effort, providing new markets, hyper-exploited labor, and no regulation, allowing them to strip rainforests, rivers, farmers, indigenous peoples of their resources for privatization and commodification.
If we truly want to overturn the parastic and mortal relationship with the earth, we must oppose the destructive and inhuman practices endemic to capitalist production. Earth Day must be celebrated as Anti-Capitalism Day.
This year AAPDEP will be holding our first Earth Day to provide the community with skills to combat the effects of capitalism through community gardens, such as the AAPDEP community gardens, currently locate in Huntsville, AL and Houston, TX.
There will be workshops, speakers and more!
COVID-19 Precautions will be practiced and MASKS ARE MANDATORY!
