Solidarity with Nonhuman People

“Whoever severs himself from Mother Earth and her flowing sources of life goes into exile.”—Emma Goldman
A specter is haunting the specter of communism: the specter of the nonhuman. Humankind will argue that the human species is a viable and vital category for thinking communist politics, a politics that this book takes not simply to be international in scope, but planetary. By this is meant that communism only works when its economic models are thought as an attunement to the fact of living in a biosphere, a fact that I call “the symbiotic real.”
