methodology
every Set a clear activity program that the exercise group can take to cause a rupture change. This program implements all theories of rupture, grand strategy and functions for tasks. The stage of “winning plan” is as follows. 1. exercise mapping; 2. Implementation and 3. Internationalism.
The first step is to move mapping. The new group will participate in the existing rupture movement. The goal is that the new organization is looking for a place that will best complement and add value to the existing exercise ecosystem. “In the case of exercise -level strategy, we ask: Which function is missing? What is nobody seeing? What grand strategy has been developed? What connection is not used well? Which connection is missing. ”
This book is unique in demanding a “party movement” discussed within the framework of exercise ecology. The point is that it must be able to form and move with the creative and theoretical diversity that the sportsmen mean. These activists must map the exercise and check if there are other grand strategies, other abilities and groups. But the whole movement is going to rupture. “The strategy of exercise level is scary and powerful.”
The main point is that the activists should be able to act throughout the movement and do not limit concerns about the success of individual organizations or parties. This book suggests that even individuals, groups and political parties may want to focus on developing and realizing certain abilities. But the movement as a system is “I need all these features”. Therefore, it is everyone’s responsibility to understand what functions can be missing in exercise and enter the space.
People can form a unique group with magnificent strategies and methodologies. The most interesting argument for the way to the party to the party is: “Organizations don’t seem to need each other, but exercise requires two tissues. That’s why we use the word ecology for social movements. ” The authors concluded that “we need entirely complementary.”
radical
Movement of the party allows both diversity and autonomy as well as adjustment and central decisions. The old days of the Central Committee and the command and control organization have become useless for the violent connected generation.
But the benefits of traditional parties must be maintained or rebuilt. This includes the formation of international institutions, forums for conventions, discussions, and decisions throughout the binding migration. “The revolutionary movement should know how to write a constitution, how to build a Democratic administration, and how to operate social political transitions.” The authors said there was a lesson from the early Soviet Soviet Soviet.
The following main stage every The program is called implementation. This explains what actions should be taken based on the analysis presented in the front of this book. As a driver of climate collapse, it is necessary to “coming in terms” or “to speak of truth” of capitalism. Ambition for the world movement; Focusing on the working class in exercise; Exercise aims to rupture. Adoption of a grand strategy; Fostering of exercise ecology.
The implementation stage also suggests some real activities. This includes requests to adopt a declaration of climate emergency status with social movement organizations. The activist group must adopt that document as its own goal and ask others to do the same.
“This is not another document to sign yet. We propose agreements to continue and systematically reject the rapid change in organizational culture, the suitability and alienation of the movement.
strength
This book requires rupture by reaction to the climate crisis, contrasting with the motor power method aimed at changes in the system. Therefore, the authors present a very different history of social change. This points out that it is possible to rupture, but it provides a lesson about how the rupture can be achieved in the real world. “We don’t think it’s enough for new generation organizers to learn from historical experiences.
This is a history of training. “We are interested in how they won and why they won. We are interested in their opportunity theory: system and assumption of faith in how change in society. ” We search for “behavioral algorithm”.
History began to win Jacobin in the French Revolution in 1799, and moved through the IT Revolution in 1804, the Italian Carbonari Revolutionaries, and the Utopian socialists for the next decades. Communist Karl Marx and anarchist Mikhail Bakuin were the injuries of Mao Zedong, who achieved the division between Trotsky and Stalin, after the 1972, 1917, the China Revolution, Cuba Revolution, and Africa. , South America and beyond it.
This high -speed history takes us to Arab Spring (2010), Ukrainian Pro -EU Protection (2014), French Yellow Vest Protests (2018), and US Black Living Protection (2020). . This book even points out today’s successful ‘rupture’. “Dozens of paras -type mass exercises are now active worldwide. In the last few years, we will deliver examples of Bangladesh, Bourkina Posa, Kenya, Myanmar, Niger, Sierra Leon and Sri Lanka. ”
The point of all these history is to establish a successful theory of changes in rupture. The commonality of all these movements is not simply the existence of violence. The authors argue that each movement is associated with intentional and conscious attempts to take control of power. Sometimes this was economic power, and it was political power. Sometimes this was an attempt to change power relations internationally, and sometimes it remained on the scale of national liberation.
righteousness
The point of control of power was always to end the oligarch and introduce democracy. And today democracy is a prerequisite for climate action. This word about this history is presented against the recent interpretation of the US civil rights movement in the 1960s, and is used to support the claim that mass movement is enough to affect change.
This short declaration also pioneers intellectual space through sharp criticisms of existing climate movement, which has a significant level of honest self -criticalism and balance. RODRIGUES and EDEN are skeptical of the current Movement Power methodology. en vogue. This criticism aims to talk about mainstream NGOs, rupture, but not intended to achieve it.
Paul Engler and Carlos Saavedra Momentum Community We have developed a mobile power method adopted by the United States, Europe and other NGOs and campaign groups. Movement theory, which is similar to this book, is not proposed in this book and includes seizure of power and revolution, but ends with “social and//or political change.” “It is the theory of change that aims to change the socioeconomic system by design”; It is “a deep tribe of imagination,” “the first degree cousin of the neoliberal worldview.”
This new book talks about the fact that nonviolent direct behavior has not yet conveyed power from tanned yet. “Your author is deeply angry with all the rebellion against this system that hasn’t changed to revolutionary potential.”
They point to contradictions. If there are more and more young people around the world, I think that revolution is required, especially in response to the climate crisis. But today, “This movement is a strategy under the framework that structurally prohibits the system change. Even the most radical aspects of the climate justice movement, the change of change in change is no society after capital in the computer list. ” Therefore, they suggest that “new social movements build their own theory of change.” every Therefore, it is a powerful criticism of the motor power strategy and a necessary supplement.
truth
There are several limitations in this book, and the author recognizes this. On the introductory page, they admit that “the degree of simplification will seem to be obviously wrong because our fair will miss the essential aspects.” They also point out this “not a book,” and even say, “The goal of this book should not be right.” Specifically, this is not an attempt in the party line. “We do not claim that we have reached the right version of Marxism.
The author’s invitation is to work together despite the serious theoretical difference between all those who deal with the climate crisis as a specific crisis of capitalism. In short, “We must learn how to agree with what we do not agree.” There are many things I don’t subscribe to this book. But I accepted the invitation and tried to amplify what was useful, not about what I didn’t think.
The ambition of the project is convincing, and the width of the history is impressive and the depth of intellectual mention is convincing. Rodrigues and EDEN have developed an alternative to exercise power strategy that promoted the climate movement by gaining the lessons of historical actors who have succeeded in changing society even during the violent change.
There is a fact that you can’t negotiate. We have experienced one year of surface temperature. 1.6 degrees Sento Raid Over the industrial industry average. This heat has made extreme weather with fatal effects. LA fire It’s just one famous example. amount Carbon dioxide is abandoned in the atmosphere It is increasing every year. World climate policy is in crisis. The United States Withdrawal from the Paris consensustea. In the UK, public investments that need to build renewable energy will be wasteful in CCS and nuclear power.
What is open to negotiations is the way we respond. If there is a way to prevent deadly climate collapse in the current political system and capitalist economic system, our political leaders should point out the way. But we are moving in the opposite direction. Trump and Starmer have no solutions.
This is why almost half of the Z generations have seen changes in the only way of social change, which is important to prevent climate collapse. Rodrigues and Eden showed tremendous courage and sincerity when they seriously accepted this discussion. “All our fights have a delivery deadline.” “We are the moment of truth: Socialism must be attention.”
