Un texto imprescindible para tomar conciencia y pasar a la accion.

Extincion inminente es la ultima novedad del linguista, filosofo, politologo Noam Chomsky, tambien uno de los activistas mas influyentes del mundo. En esta ocasion, se trata de una recopilacion de textos que nace de un llamado Encuentro Chomsky celebrado en Boston y dedicado a las amenazas a la supervivencia planetaria, cuyos tres temas fundamentales son la emergencia climatica, la amenaza nuclear y el peligro que entrana el debilitamiento del sistema democratico en todo el mundo.

La solucion pasa, segun indica Chomsky en estas paginas reveladoras, por el activismo social e internacional: una serie de movimientos populares que ya se estan organizando por todo el globo para forzar acuerdos inte rnacionales y afrontar este reto sin precedentes por la supervivencia de la civilizacion.

No se puede pasar por alto la alarma de una extincion inminente . Deberia constituir un eje central firme de todo programa de concienciacion, organizacion y activismo; figurar como trasfondo de cualquier forma de participacion en todas las demas luchas# Y algo asi presupone una sensibilidad mas amplia hacia los problemas e injusticias que hostigan al mundo, una toma de conciencia mas profunda, que sirva para inspirar un activismo comprometido, con un enfoque mas penetrante sobre las raices de tales asuntos y las interrelaciones que entre ellos se dan.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An essential text to raise awareness and take action.

Cooperation or Extinction is the latest work from linguist, philosopher, and political scientist Noam Chomsky, who is also one of the world’s most influential activists. This time, he offers a compilation of texts that arose from a so-called Chomsky Encounter held in Boston which focused on threats to planetary survival, and whose three main themes are the climate emergency, nuclear threat, and the danger that a worldwide weakening democratic system poses.

As Chomsky states in these revealing pages, the solution stems from social and international activism: a series of popular movements that are already being organized around the world to force international agreements and face this unprecedented challenge, all for the survival of civilization.

The alarm of an imminent extinction cannot be ignored. It should be a firm central axis in any program offering awareness, organization, and activism; it should figure as a backdrop to any form of involvement in all other struggles. And thus assuming a broader sensitivity and deeper awareness to the problems and injustices that plague the world, serving as inspiration to a committed activism.
