ثورات عصرنا | حراك أممي ضد الرأسمالية والإمبريالية

Every day, around the world, marginalized groups engage in separate struggles against their oppression, sometimes gaining, often losing, but only when poverty, oppression and persistent violations of human dignity reach unbearable levels do people as a whole rise up against the system. The rulers, supported by world powers, respond with extreme brutality to crush the uprising, and even if a new regime survives the onslaught, it may be exploited to exercise central authority, while the people return to patterns of internal division and submission to authority. The response proposed by this statement is a global network of revolutionary groups engaged in building popular democracy, to provide mutual support (material, cultural and moral) so that no one is left to face oppression in isolation, and to share lessons learned from victories and defeats: an inspiring call for international action from the bottom! —Rohini Hensman, author of “Indefensible: Democracy, Counter-Revolution, and Anti-Imperialist Discourse_”: “The book “Revolutions of Our Time_” is a valuable addition to a truly international movement against capitalism and imperialism. Such revolutionary voices are more necessary than ever if humanity is to survive.” —Michael Lowe, author of Ecosocialism: “‘Revolutions of Our Time’ is a profound exploration of the challenges facing contemporary movements guided by libertarian politics. Crucial to libertarian politics in the twenty-first century is the recognition of the necessity of clarifying the concept of ‘the people’ itself, especially in highlighting the reality of marginalized groups who are not needed by the global capitalist system. This book also addresses the whole concept of international solidarity for the oppressed in the twenty-first century, drawing the reader To appreciate the need for concrete assessments of current conditions, and to focus our understanding on the struggles of the oppressed, rather than relying on abstract geopolitics. It is a book I could not stop reading!” —Bill Fletcher, Jr., unionist, author, and co-founder of the Black Radical Congress**
