The show of international solidarity for the people of Oaxaca was the most extensive since the Zapatista uprising in 1994. Fueled by long ignored social contradictions, what began as a teachers' strike demanding more resources for education quickly turned into a massive movement that demanded direct, participatory democracy. Hundreds of thousands of Oaxacans raised their voices against the abuses of the state government. They participated in marches of up to 800,000 people, occupied government buildings, took over radio stations, called for statewide labor and hunger strikes, held sit-ins, reclaimed spaces for public art and created altars for assassinated activists in public spaces. In the now legendary March of Pots and Pans, two thousand women peacefully took over and operated the state television channel for three weeks. Barricades that were built all over the city to prevent the passage of paramilitaries and defend occupied public spaces, quickly became a place where neighbors got to know each other, shared ideas and developed new strategies for organizing. Despite the fierce repression that the movement faced—with hundreds arbitrarily detained, tortured, forced into hiding, or murdered by the state and federal forces and paramilitary death squads—people were determined to make their voices heard. \"Once you learn to speak, you don't want to be quiet anymore,\" an indigenous community radio activist said.

But workers' control and direct democracy have long histories in Argentina, where from the late nineteenth century and well into the twentieth, anarchism was the main revolutionary ideology of the labor movement and other social struggles. Most histories of anarchism in Argentina tend toward dry analyses of labor politics, lists of union acronyms, and the like. For Juan Suriano, that's just one part of the story. \u003cem\u003eParadoxes of Utopia gives\u003c\/em\u003e us an engaging look at fin de siècle Buenos Aires that brings to life the vibrant culture behind one of the world's largest anarchist movements: the radical schools, newspapers, theaters, and social clubs that made revolution a way of life. Cultural history in the best sense, \u003cem\u003eParadoxes of Utopia\u003c\/em\u003e explores how a revolutionary ideology was woven into the ordinary lives of tens of thousands of people, creating a complex tapestry of symbols, rituals, and daily practices that supported-and indeed created the possibility of-the Argentine labor movement. Without partisanship or didacticism, Suriano creates an innovative panorama that gives equal weigh to the strengths and weakness of anarchism in Argentina, effective strategies and grave mistakes, internal debates and state repression, all contextualized within the country's broader political, economic, and cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAuthor: Juan Suriano\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eISBN: 9781849350068\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSize: 312 pages\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: AK Press\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eYear: 2010\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AK Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40175056912477,"sku":"9781849350068","price":26.53,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/products\/large_616_paradoxes3_0.jpg?v=1654987100"},{"product_id":"zapatista-spring-anatomy-of-a-rebel-water-project-the-lessons-of-international-solidarity","title":"Zapatista Spring: Anatomy of a Rebel Water Project \u0026 the Lessons of International Solidarity","description":"\u003cp\u003eEight volunteers converge to help campesinos build a water system in Chiapas—a strategy to bolster the Zapatista insurgency by helping locals to assert their autonomy.

Despite the fact that, now more than ever, a massive antiwar movement with strong anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist tendencies is needed, the Canadian anti-war movement has not been able to deliver the goods. We attempt to analyze why anti-war organizers have overlooked the positive contributions of the antiglobalization movement and conclude by suggesting that the way forward lies in transcending the antithetical terms of our present struggles, where small direct actions stand in opposition to larger but depoliticized single day protests against the war. While we know that it’s impossible to resolve this dialectic on paper, we offer up the editorial in the hope of sharpening the terms of debate. Nothing would make us happier than to see others throw their hats into the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis issue also contains two interviews, both with renowned scholar-activists. The interview with Aijaz Ahmad addresses fundamental questions of revolution and organization, and reflects on the complexities of Islamic and anti-imperialist movements in Asia and the Middle East. William Robinson discusses Latin American resistance to neoliberalism in the changing context of global capitalism and considers how these movements are relating to the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our articles section, AK Thompson critically engages the arguments of Richard Day’s \u003cem\u003eGramsci is Dead: Anarchist Currents in the Newest Social Movements\u003c\/em\u003e and discusses whether or not the orientation to “affinity” expressed by the newest social movements is adequate to the task of making meaningful social change. Following Thompson’s piece, Isabel MacDonald writes on Canadian complicity in the occupation of Haiti, outlining both the horrific oppression visited upon the Haitian people and the difficulties faced by the solidarity movement in support of Haiti. Subsequently, RJ Maccani investigates the Zapatista experience and outlines the lessons to be drawn north of the Rio Grande amidst Mexico’s changing political terrain. As in the interview section, Maccani’s piece engages the question of the relationship between anti-capitalist movements and the state.

While currently focusing on the reclamation of a suburban housing estate, the struggle highlights larger issues of political sovereignty and settler colonialism. Tom Keefer provides an overview and background to the situation, while in the roundtable, participants focus on the role of non-native solidarity activists in supporting this indigenous movement. We interview Brian Skye, a member of the Cayuga nation who has been very active at the site, on his perspectives on solidarity organizing. We also interview Jan Watson, a non-native Caledonia, Ontario resident who has been centrally involved in organizing against racism directed against the people of Six Nations.

At the same time, as its influence grew, the cultural movement claimed its own principal space as catalyst of not only Chile’s musical but its political future as well.

Garner explores Spanish anarcho-syndicalism’s unique characteristics while placing its development within global events and the wider international syndicalist movement. Anarcho-syndicalism is a hybrid of revolutionary syndicalism in which the anarchist goal—the triumph of the social revolution and the implantation of libertarian socialism—would be achieved by syndicalism’s tactical means. Working outside statist and collaborationist political structures did not, however, mean abandoning political strategy. The Federación Anarquista Ibérica (FAI) was formed in 1927 and quickly sought to ensure a role for anarchism within the syndicalist union. The development of anarcho-syndicalism—and the tensions it spawned within the larger socialist movement—has much to teach us today as we chart our own future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJason Garner was visiting lecturer at the University of Westminster and taught at the University of Kent.

Kirwin Shaffer shows that anarchists played a significant—until now little-known—role among Cuban leftists in shaping issues of health, education, immigration, the environment, and working-class internationalism. They also criticized the state of racial politics, cultural practices, and the conditions of children and women on the island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the chaotic new country, members of the anarchist movement reinterpreted the War for Independence and the revolutionary ideas of patriot José Martí, embarking on a nationwide debate with the larger Cuban establishment about what it meant to be “Cuban.” To counter the dominant culture, the anarchists created their own initiatives—schools, health institutes, vegetarian restaurants, theater and fiction writing groups, and occasional calls for nudism—and as a result they challenged both the existing elite and the occupying U.S. military forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShaffer also focuses on what anarchists did to prepare the masses for a social revolution. While many of the Cuban anarchists' ideals flowed from Europe, their programs, criticisms, and literature reflected the specifics of Cuban reality and appealed to Cuba’s popular classes. Using theories of working-class internationalism, countercultures, popular culture, and social movements, Shaffer analyzes archival records, pamphlets, newspapers, and novels, showing how the anarchist movement in republican Cuba helped shape the country’s early leftist revolutionary agenda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShaffer’s portrait of the conflict between anarchists and their enemies illuminates the multiple forces that pervaded life on the island in the twentieth century, until the rise of the Gerardo Machado dictatorship in the 1920s.

A self-taught journalist, social scientist, and activist from Peru, he was the first to emphasize that those fighting for the revolutionary transformation of society must adapt classical Marxist theory to the particular conditions of Latin America. He also stressed that indigenous peoples must take an active, if not leading, role in any revolutionary struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday Latin America is the scene of great social upheaval. More progressive governments are in power than ever before, and grassroots movements of indigenous peoples, workers, and peasants are increasingly shaping the political landscape. The time is perfect for a rediscovery of Mariátegui, who is considered an intellectual precursor of today’s struggles in Latin America but virtually unknown in the English-speaking world. This volume collects his essential writings, including many that have never been translated and some that have never been published. The scope of this collection, masterful translation, and thoughtful commentary make it an essential book for scholars of Latin America and all of those fighting for a new world, waiting to be born.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat People Are Saying\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Thanks to Monthly Review Press, a fully representative anthology of José Carlos Mariátegui is finally available to the English-speaking public.

This anthology is an intelligent and welcomed selection from his complete works. It offers readings beyond the seminal ‘Seven Interpretative Essays on Peruvian Reality’ (1971). Mariátegui’s original ability to establish a dialogic plane of thought in which Marxism bends and responds in relation to local knowledges is only comparable to the theoretical achievements of Antonio Gramsci.

Indeed they are! This is their great strength, since such ‘orthodoxy’ is the opposite of the expansive vision and critical edge one finds in genuine Marxism, qualities abundantly present in the contributions of this great Peruvian revolutionary.

In addition to stressing those aspects of Mariátegui’s life particularly conducive to his intellectual constructions, Vanden and Becker’s in-depth introductory essay correctly points to the persistent relevance of Mariátegui to a full understanding of current developments in Latin American politics, economies, and societies—such as the increasing political efficacy of indigenous movements or the renewed strength of socialist and anti-imperialist struggles—as well as the current world crisis of capitalism.

Today, some two decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the regimes and parties of “actually existing socialism,” a majority of the population of Latin America are represented by democratically elected governments that identity themselves as “socialist” in one way or another. Whether these governments are “really” socialist and what will become of them is a matter of debate; but it is worth noting that the only place in the world today where socialism, even as a rhetorical gesture, is on the agenda is Latin America. Why this is the case is due in part to the heritage of Mariátegui’s extremely original and radical reframing of Marxism. This makes the publication of this comprehensive anthology of his work so timely. It is an event for English-language readers interested in radical thought comparable to the appearance of the Selections from Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks in the late 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—John Beverley, professor of Spanish and Latin American Literature and Cultural Studies, University of Pittsburgh\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarry E.

The articles in this issue were written both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the reader will surely notice the shadow of this global event in all of the work. However, we hope that there is some hope to be found in these pieces, and also in the events of the last 14-plus months since we spoke, dear reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt seems as though with every issue released, we list off the advances of imperialism and fascism in the prior months, peppering in small victories where we can find them. The events of 2020 have so often been described as “unprecedented” that it feels, at a minimum, trite to do so here, and perhaps even misleading. Reflecting on the events outlined in the introduction of previous issues, it becomes not only impossible to separate the course of 2020 from other years but politically untenable to do so. While many of us could not have anticipated the emergence of this virus, we can trace its horrific and unequal effects in the events of past years, both on Turtle Island and across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRising inequality brought on by the privatization and destruction of health care, and the assault on unions and tenants’ movements have brought the full weight of the pandemic down upon workers who cannot afford even a single sick day without losing income, facing eviction, and falling into the cracks of a crumbling, underfunded healthcare system. The worsening refugee crises in Syria and Yemen and the continuing sale of arms from Canada have kept the government and arms industry afloat, while citizens have been cut loose to fend for themselves. The proliferation of violent right-wing nationalisms all over the world has fomented coup attempts, led to attacks on anti-racist protesters in the streets, and created an atmosphere of abject terror. This is, of course, a small list of the many acute and chronic atrocities we watched unfold at the same time as a global plague.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStill, the past 12 months have been full of revolutionary anger too. The year 2020 began in Canada with nationwide rail blockades in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en, and Indigenous struggles from coast to coast. During the early months of the pandemic, we co-presented a webinar with Briarpatch Magazine titled “Policing, Direct Action, and Infiltration: Ten Years since the G20,” featuring Aruna Boodram, Mandy Hiscocks, Syed Hussan, and Irina Ceric. Our aim was to share our stories from this momentous protest and to connect the lessons from 2010 to today. As the pandemic spread into our neighbourhoods, communities sprung up around newly-formed mutual-aid networks, and many for the first time imagined a caring future outside of the state. In the summer months, we saw enormous rallies nearly every week, condemning police violence and anti-Black racism. The idea of abolition became a real political possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it is sometimes difficult to imagine a different future when we are so firmly in a bleak present, this last year has shown us that the spirit of the people will not be broken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis issue focuses on the forms of organizing, uprising, and solidarity that, we hope, will get us to a future free from global and local class inequalities, land theft and imperialism, climate crisis, and the violence of racism. We are especially proud of the international scope of this content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLesley Wood begins our letters section with a response to our roundtable on the 20th anniversary of the anti-WTO protests in Seattle. Lesley admits that there is a loss of certainty and strategy compared to the movements of 20 years ago, but urges us not to despair, and reminds us how generations of movement leaders emerge in cycles. Renée Nadeau reflects on our Issue 21 article “The Ground Beneath Our Feet,” taking well-warranted issue with movements that aim to “reclaim the commons,” but without an explicit anti-racist and decolonial lens. Lastly, Samantha Ponting responds to “Mining Makes This World Possible,” discussing experiences in Nicaragua, and how it is possible to ban mining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our editorial, we take up the notion of mutual aid in relation to both revolutionary and emancipatory projects, as well as the neoliberal state that is all too happy to abrogate its responsibilities to people and communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn “Chile’s Social Explosion,” Pamela Arancibia interviews Emilio Dabed and Pablo Vivanco about the recent Chilean uprisings. This discussion offers a historical context for the uprisings by tracing Chile’s labour history, social movements, and political economy to shed light on how this South American country continues to shake the world in its struggle against neoliberalism and state violence. We recently co-hosted a follow-up event with the interview participants titled “Palestine Through Chilean Eyes,” for Israeli Apartheid Week 2021, organized by Students Against Israeli Apartheid at the University of Toronto. In “Fighting to Teach,” Ryan Hayes and Mariful Alam interview Sarah Vance, co-chair of the Toronto District Communications and Political Action Committee, rank-and-file member of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) and teacher with the Toronto District School Board. Vance discusses Ontario Education Workers United, the fraught atmosphere in OSSTF concerning recent (and not so recent) strikes, and the importance of pushing union leadership to engage in more radical anti-racist work. Lastly, Alejandro Franco Briones interviews Yásnaya Elena A. Gil, an Ayuujk researcher who carries out her activism in defence of the ancestral territory and her community of origin San Pedro y San Pablo Ayutla, located in the state of Oaxaca in southwestern Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are also excited to publish a comic in this issue. “Iconoclasm”—a collaboration between Seth Tobocman and Maxine Allison Vande Vaarst—is the first of a series of comic strips that lay out struggles to topple racist Confederate monuments in the American South.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the article “Activism in Dark Times,” Adrien Beauduin and Sara Swerdlyk discuss organizing in Hungary against Orbán’s fascist crack-down on trade unions and migrant rights, as well as on universities that take up these issues. Adrien and Sara address these struggles in a discussion with five activists from Budapest active in Hungarian student movements’ anti-fascist organizing, and also discuss electoral coalition tactics that can only be described as “Faustian.” In “Socialism from the Grassroots,” author Ian Liujia Tian outlines how a new critical socialism is developing in China. Tian re-appropriates “socialism” from the hegemonic and centralized state back to the everyday struggles of workers and communities. We are also proud to include an in-depth article by S. Awâsis on Indigenous anarchism. In this piece, Awâsis explores the existence and possibilities of anarchism within Indigenous political thought and practice, and also offers a rich overview of Indigenous resistance and uprisings in Canada and all over the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our first of three roundtables, “British Columbia Fights Back,” Melissa Moroz, Gene McGuckin, Shane Calder, and Bob Wilson sit down with Sharmeen Khan to discuss their reflections on organizing toward a provincial-wide general strike in the early 2000s. In “Global Uprisings and The Left’s Response,” Edward Hon-Sing Wong, Sardar Saadi, and Niloofar Golkar discuss social movements in Hong Kong, Kurdistan, and Iran. They explore the ongoing and urgent need for leftists in the West to accept the challenge of cross-border anti-imperialist solidarity and to align themselves with left struggles outside of the West. Finally, we feature a roundtable with youth organizers from Climate Justice Toronto. Interviewed by Kate Atkinson, this roundtable documents the struggles, politics, and tactics of younger activists including their perspectives on solidarity and their personal journeys as new movement builders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs always, we end our issue with a reviews section. Stuart Schussler reviews Shoshana Zuboff’s The Age of Surveillance Capitalism and discusses how the book documents the reach of big tech companies, but stops short of a further critique of the capitalist engine that drives monetization in tech. Adam Rudder reviews Until We Are Free, edited by Rodney Diverlus, Sandy Hudson, and Syrus Marcus Ware. Rudder discusses how the collection of writings serves to “complicate Black identity itself,” and other personal reflections on reading the work. Finally, Neil Braganza reviews David McNally’s Blood and Money. Placing Blood and Money in the context of George Floyd’s recent murder, Braganza helps us understand the contemporary consequences of money’s bloody history, which McNally traces from ancient Greece through to the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe hope that in these dark and confusing times, there is some hope to be gained from the insightful pieces we have published here. Our deep gratitude goes out to all our contributors and participants for their revolutionary insights into our joint struggles and their theorization and analyses of movement history and organizing.

The rule of law has been replaced by the dominance of alegality and the rise of the “a-state.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis war scenario is establishing a form of global governance that utilizes methods of surveillance and control developed by the United States government and enforced through its global network of military bases and the multinational corporations that work in synergy with its espionage agencies.

The threats are clear. Nation-states are increasingly unable to respond to societal needs, and the individual has been displaced by money and technique—the axis of the transhumanist future foretold by today's electronic devices. The human being as the prosthesis of an artificial world and as an object of networks and systems: citizens are the victims of a perverse vision of reality, caught between the defense of their rights and their will to insurrection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAuthor: Sergio Gonzalez Rodriguez\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eISBN: 9781635900880\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSize: 192 pages\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Semiotext(e)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eYear: 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Semiotext(e)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40175370436701,"sku":"9781635900880","price":18.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/products\/fieldofbattle.jpg?v=1654988925"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/collections\/Latin_America__orthographic_projection_.svg_12bee30a-e370-43ac-85ab-b0dfc484cef9.png?v=1652038573","url":"https:\/\/leftwingbooks.net\/collections\/latin-america\/themrise-khan.oembed","provider":"Leftwingbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
