“If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.” -Lilla Watson
Our ultimate goal is a modest one: worldwide proletarian revolution. The abolition of all states and all borders, all patriarchies and all gender roles, all classes and all elites, the end of ecocide, the destruction of all prisons and all hierarchies, , of every racial or ethnic supremacy.
To work towards this goal, we have many questions that must be, tentatively, worked out.
How is class struggle possible under current conditions?
Are the old forms of revolutionary struggle viable? the party? the union? If not, what new forms may replace them?
Is global revolution possible?
If so, will it happen Simultaneously? or in fits in bursts?
What strategy or strategies should be employed? which strategies fit in what conditions?
Which tactics?
Who are our friends? how do we find them?
Who are our enemies? how to we fight them?
The reality we are living has not been predicted by those who came before us: the old theories can not stand, unchanged, in the fact of our current situation. A revolution of ideas is needed to explain new phenomena
The goal of this blog is to create the space to explore these questions, to create a dialogue of international solidarity. A base to launch interventions into social discourse.
We need vivid redefinition of the revolutionary vocabulary: to resurrect dead concepts. We need an analyses rooted firmly in history and strategy, written in a language that can be easily understood, taking the lessons of past struggles and distilling them into practical concepts. Combing through the dusty bookshelves to find something, anything, that can help us in our own liberation.
