About

Timothy Brits

Timothy Brits

Timothy writes from South Africa on capitalism, colonialism, and climate collapse. He believes liberation is impossible without dismantling the systems that exploit both people and the planet — and that a decolonised, eco-socialist future is not optional, but necessary.

Political Mission

Eco-socialist analysis and decolonial thought from Africa and the Global South — for people and planet.

Analytical Framework

Every article on Timothy for Change approaches power, politics, and ecology through an eco-socialist and decolonial lens. This means tracing today's crises — inequality, climate collapse, displacement, and war — back to their roots in capitalism and empire. The analysis rejects false neutrality: it sides with the oppressed, with workers, and with the Earth itself.

Editorial Values

  • Truth over neutrality: Writing should confront power, not flatter it
  • People and planet first: Human and ecological liberation are inseparable
  • Decolonise knowledge: Center the perspectives and struggles of the Global South
  • Solidarity, not charity: Change is collective, not paternalistic
  • Clarity and courage: Speak plainly, think critically, and never apologize for demanding systemic change

Vision

A decolonised, eco-socialist world where people and planet thrive beyond capitalism and empire.
