We need to engage the writings of The Invisible Committee to understand the current crisis and connect it to the practical organising issues that arose out of the mobilisation around the COP15, writes ALFIE.

When we wander the streets of Leeds, Mexico City, Mumbai the wealth we see seems somehow familiar, yet we wonder where it has come from. That wealth is familiar because we produced it. But we feel disconnected from it because it has come not from our past, but from our futures. It is this problematic, this peculiar relationship between the past, the present and the future, that offers one of the keys to understanding the present crisis of capitalism.
