As the climate crisis intensifies, the prevailing response is increasingly
characterised not by justice or solidarity, but by scarcity management, border violence and the protection of privileges. Climate fascism is a political form in which ecological collapse becomes a pretext for authoritarian control, militarised exclusion and the unequal distribution of chances to survive. In this context, the central question is no longer whether planning will return, but what kind of planning will shape the future. This lecture rejects the false choice between market solutions and technocratic state control and advocates for counterplanning: a democratic, egalitarian and ecologically grounded reorganisation of
production, consumption and social reproduction. In opposition to an economic system that is inevitably dependent on ever-increasing energy and resource consumption, top-down climate policy that leaves basic needs at the mercy of the market and elitist managerialism, counter-planning is the struggle to reclaim social coordination fromcapital and transformit into democracy at all levels.
