Revolutionære grupper og bevægelser

På Rådhuspladsen løber Amdi og Walther ind i en gammel ven. Jørgen Kragh er lige blevet optaget på Københavns Universitet og på vej til rusfest i Studenterforeningen.”De spørger, om jeg vil med jorden rundt? Det er der jo kun ét svar på.”Allerede som dreng samler Mogens Amdi Petersen kammerater omkring sig i tætte fællesskaber, baseret på oprørsk munterhed og spejderære.”Man skal ville noget med sit liv,” siger Amdi. Sådan opstår Danmarks første kollektiv og landets første kulturhus, ligesom mødet med Jørgen Kragh fører til en legendarisk jordomrejse, der bliver skabelon for Den rejsende Højskole og siden Det nødvendige Seminarium – og Tvind.Samfundet rystes i 1960’erne og 1970’erne. Den gamle verden fungerer ikke længere, noget nyt skal fødes, men hvad? Den nye verden skal være mere bæredygtig, mere fri, mere retfærdig, men hvordan? Mange unge forkaster forældrenes værdier i kompromisløse eksperimenter med at skabe den nye orden, også på Tvind. Amdis fællesskaber er skabt til tiden – og skaber den.Første bind slutter med Mogens Amdi Petersens dramatiske exit fra offentligheden i 1979, netop som Tvind står på spring til en global ekspansion. Andet bind beskriver retsforfølgelsen og Tvinds aktiviteter som multinational koncern.Research, medforfatter til kap. 9, 10 og 13: Anders-Peter Mathiasen

Hvem er feminismen for, og hvem definerer feminismens kampe? I denne banebrydende klassiker fra 1984 etablerer bell hooks en feminisme, der også inkluderer dem, som lever i samfundets margin. For hooks må feminisme rumme forskelle og uenigheder, og – ikke mindst – forene kvinder såvel som mænd i et fælles opgør med en kapitalistisk og patriarkalsk kultur.bell hooks (1952-2021) var forfatter, politisk aktivist og underviser. Med bøger som "All about love, Ain’t I a Woman?" og "Feministisk teori – fra margin til centrum" står hun som en af vor tids mest indflydelsesrige feministiske tænkere.Bogen er en del af serien Feministisk bibliotek, der samler fire af de mest markante feministiske stemmer fra de sidste 100 år og introducerer de vigtigste diskussioner om forholdet mellem køn, magt og historie.

Challenges state-centric interpretations of insurgent politics by offering a performative perspective on Sri Lanka's Tamil nationalist movement.

Donald Trump's campaign and presidency represented a radical departure from political norms that are often classified by media and researchers as 'populist'. Instead, this book theorizes Trump's campaign and presidency with reference to Mikhail Bakhtin's "carnival" - a medieval festival of transgression, ridicule, and renewal. In this book, Lisa Gaufman and Bharath Ganesh provide a closer insight into the Trump Carnival, developing interdisciplinary perspectives on populism, misogyny, misinformation, and far-right vernacular culture. Building on the idea of the carnivalesque, this book focuses on the laughing culture of the Trump campaigns and presidency that vilified minorities, disparaged women, and ultimately emboldened the far right. Bringing Bakhtin into dialogue with key developments in contemporary politics, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the Trump phenomenon, American politics, and populism.

Soucieux de gagner l¿indépendance et l¿autonomie du pays face au monde occidental et à l¿URSS, le leader révolutionnaire Mao Zedong a mené, entre 1949 et 1976, une «Révolution socialiste» continue. Cet ouvrage observe les formes de l¿autoritarisme maoïste en multipliant les angles de vue ¿ arcanes du pouvoir de parti-État, opposition au sein du système, voix réfractaires des petites gens, etc. S¿appuyant sur des sources inédites, l¿auteur offre des plongées sur des personnages de second ou troisième rang peu connus de l¿histoire de la Chine contemporaine, des éclairages sur une ville (Shanghai) plutôt que sur une histoire nationale, ainsi que sur une multitude d¿acteurs ordinaires impliqués dans les divers moments maoïstes. Ce décentrement du regard permet de dépasser le cadre étroit de la hiérarchie bureaucratique et de cerner la présence de diverses réponses individuelles et collectives aux formes centralisatrices et hégémoniques de l¿État maoïste. En dépit d¿un contrôle social mêlé de propagande et de terreur politique, la Chine d¿après 1949 n¿était pas exempte de diversité dans les comportements, ni de particularisme et de localisme : face à une autocratie omnipotente, les individus et les collectivités étaient loin d¿être aussi amorphes qüon l¿a longtemps imaginé. En ce sens, la rupture avec les histoires de la fin de l¿ère Qing et de l¿ère républicaine s¿avère moins accusée et moins définitive.

La Revolución Francesa marcó un hito en el pensamiento sobre la nación alemana. El reclamo de validez universal de sus principios de libertad, igualdad y fraternidad se conjugó con el universalismo proclamado por el Sacro Imperio Romano de la Nación Alemana. El gesto cosmopolita de la reflexión en torno a Alemania cede sin embargo ante la necesidad histórica de crear el estado nacional. El Geist alemán se repliega ante la voluntad de poder y la fuerza de las armas. A hierro y sangre se produce la anhelada unificación alemana.

How to take a political beating and surviveIn the struggle for a better world, setbacks are inevitable. Defeat can feel overwhelming at times, but it has to be endured. How then do the people on the front line keep going? To answer that question and to help readers roll with the punches, Hannah Proctor draws on historical resources to find out how revolutionaries and activists of the past kept a grip on hope.Burnout considers former Communards exiled to a penal colony in the South Pacific; a young Bolshevik fleeing the city in despair; an ex-militant on the analyst’s couch relating dreams of ruined landscapes; a trade union organizer seeking advice from a spiritual healer; and a group of feminists padding a room with mattresses to scream about the patriarchy. Jettisoning therapy talk and its stranglehold on our language, Proctor offers a different way forward—neither denial nor despair. Her cogent exploration of the ways militants make sense of their own burnout demonstrates that it is possible to mourn and organize at once, and to do both without compromise.[ENDORSEMENTS TK][logo]SUBJECT LINE [INITIAL CAP ONLY]: PoliticsRETAIL PRICES [DOMESTIC MARKET FIRST]: £14.99 / $24.95 / $33.95CANversobooks.comISBN-13: 9781839766053

The Mass Strike, the Political Party and the Trade Unions was written in 1906 by Polish-born revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg. It brilliantly captures the fundamental lessons from the experience of mass workers'' strikes and their role in the 1905 Russian Revolution. Luxemburg lived in a world in crisis - one characterised by the fast approach of the First World War - and in an era when revolutionary struggles and ideas broke out internationally. Now, over a century later, capitalism is lunging deeper into a crisis of mammoth economic, political, social and ecological proportions. The need for mass strikes that can spill over into revolution is now existential. In this short book, Luxemburg shows how strikes call into question the relationship between the working class and the employing class, how political and economic demands fuse in the course of such strikes, and how they can start to challenge the conservative approach of the trade union leaders. Her book is as relevant as ever in helping course the path to a revolution that can smash capitalism and build another world.

This edited collection provides an innovative and comprehensive contribution to the study of historical revolutions and their commemoration, as well as contemporary protests and uprisings, and how they are communicated today in everyday networked media.

When the German Industrial Revolution is mentioned, some unanswered questions like ¿when?¿, ¿how?¿, ¿by whom?¿ comes to mind. This book opens the curtain of unanswered questions about German Industrialization. Unlike previous studies on German Industrialization, this book, which reveals a highly integrated framework, also examines original areas such as the importance of education in German Industrialization and the pioneering German banking models in the 19th century. Moreover, this book offers the reader a new perspective by examining Turkish-German relations from the perspective of German Industrialization. Making use of Turkish, German and American archive documents, this book aims to provide the reader with rational inferences about German industrialization and the behind-the-scenes of Turkish-German relations with its in-depth literature review and intense analysis.

"A welcome gift ... Highlighting Lenin's flexibility and cultivation of collective leadership, Le Blanc brings out the practical activism and revolutionary patience crucial to organizing the oppressed on a rapidly over-heating planet" Jodi Dean, author of Comrade"Crackling with intellectual life" Lars T. Lih, author of Lenin Rediscovered"A wonderful sketch of Lenin's life and times ... Perhaps the best introduction available in English" Michael D. Yates, author of Can the Working Class Change the World?Vladimir Lenin lies in a tomb in Moscow's Red Square. History has not been kind to this Russian leader, his teachings reviled by modern mainstream politics. But in today's capitalist society, riven by class inequality and imperialist wars, perhaps it is worth returning to this communist icon's demand for "Peace, Land and Bread", and his radical understanding of democracy.Lenin was wrestling with the question of "what is to be done?" when facing the catastrophes of his own time. Against the odds, the Bolshevik party succeeded in rejecting both the corrupt and decaying Romanov dynasty, as well as the capitalist economic system which had started to take root in Russia.To understand how this happened, and what we can learn from him today, Paul Le Blanc takes us through Lenin's dynamic revolutionary thought, how he worked as part of a larger collective and how he centered the labor movement in Russia and beyond, uncovering a powerful form of democracy that could transform our activism today.Paul Le Blanc is an activist and acclaimed American historian teaching at La Roche University, Pennsylvania. He is the author of many books.

With pro-Soviet movements, Maoism, Trotskyism, Guevarism, Pan-Africanism and the Black Panthers, the rumble of revolution was felt across the continent. From feminist student rebels in Nigeria to pro-democracy movements in Liberia, the exciting and complex interplay between these many actors changed Africa forever. Can we see echoes of these movements in African politics today? What can we learn from the people who lived through these decades? How can revolutionary struggles on the continent today learn from this rich history? This unique collection will shed new light on Africa's radical decades for those who are seeking new and important insights into global revolutionary history. Pascal Bianchini is a sociologist and independent researcher based in Senegal.

The little-known story of the Situationist International’s struggle against the automation of everyday life

The contributors to this book, first published in 1971, analyse as International Socialists the economic and social issues of modern society. Their findings were controversial, as was the alternative they proposed - the overthrow of the British system and its replacement by a society based on workers' control. A central theme of the book is the need for socialists to have a scientific view of the modern world - a socialist theory.
