“There is no anti-capitalist movement […] with a plan of action compatible with climate deadlines”. This is the central thesis of All In: A Revolutionary Theory to Stop Climate Collapse, a book written in 2025 by activists from Climáximo, a civil disobedience climate action movement in Portugal. The authors, Mariana Rodrigues and Sinan Eden, have accumulated years of experience on the front line of high-intensity climate activism. In the book, they speak about their despair at the lack of strategy and ambition within the global environmental movement to win the battle against capitalism in time to avoid the imminent climate collapse.
All In begins with a reflection on how we are failing to grasp the magnitude of the greatest challenge facing humanity, the climate crisis, and presents an initial hypothesis on which the rest of the book is built: to have any chance of remaining below 2°C of global temperature increase, countries in the Global North must reach net zero emissions by 2030. This implies the destruction of capital on an unprecedented scale, the dismantling of large corporations, the disruption of global trade… ultimately, the end of capitalism.
However, the revolutionary theories that have emerged so far, socialist, anarchist, communist…did not have to take into account such an immediate deadline. “All In” offers an analysis of these theories and of social movements throughout history to understand what worked and what did not, and how to bring about drastic changes in societies.
In the end, they propose a new revolutionary theory based on a rupture model, of direct confrontation with the status quo, capable of dismantling capitalism urgently and worldwide. A plan of action that involves a wide diversity of groups and movements across different countries, but with a shared objective and effective organisation. A plan of action that begins now.
