Mira Oklobdžija:

His [Franco “Bifo” Berardi] vision of the future is not bright; he does not accept the false hope of a “happy ending” or a successful continuation of the journey. What he stands for is internationalism and solidarity with the courage to analyse the contemporary world and face the inevitable. The policies of the great powers, war and capitalism in conjunction with a new type of fascism and climate change must be re-examined without superficial embellishment. He insists that the term ‘climate crisis’ does not correspond to the state of affairs; you can get out of the crisis. According to him, a more accurate term is ‘collapse’.

When asked by the audience how new generations could feel better in hopeless times, he answered with the words from Antonio Machado’s poem, “Caminante, no hay camino”: “Traveler, your footprints are the path and nothing more; Traveler, there is no path. The path is made by walking”.
