From activists glueing themselves to trains, to throwing soup at paintings: recent years have seen numerous groups employing ‘direct action’ tactics to achieve their aims. Instead, Marxists call for mass organised struggle by workers and youth.

The latest UN climate summit begins on Sunday. But following the impotence and inaction seen at previous COP conferences, expectations amongst environmental activists are low. Capitalism is killing the planet. We need to fight for revolution.
Dozens of activists were arrested at the weekend, protesting against the meat and fossil fuel industries. Small-scale actions are not enough. To end environmental destruction, we need mass struggle to overturn the profit system.
