📖 Rodrigo Nunes - "Né verticale né orizzontale"
Sono a circa un quarto del libro. Nonostante alcune teorie politiche classiche (Leibniz, Hobbes, Spinoza) non mi siano familiarissime, riesco a seguire il filo dell'argomentazione e lo trovo davvero interessante e "refreshing".
Per un'organizzazione politica ecologica, che impieghi più strategie organizzative in base al contesto per cercare di arrivare a un cambiamento sistemico.
Invierò un update quando avrò finito di leggerlo.
Grazie a @sozaboy per avermi prestato questo, davvero una lettura di cui ho bisogno in questo momento.

"Liberals, on the other hand, often appear to be suffering from another illusion. It consists in drawing false symmetries between political extremes and idealizing the centrist consensus that prevailed until 2008. Ultimately, this attitude boils down to supposing that people have taken temporary leave of their senses, but everything can carry on as before as soon as the sensible guys are in charge again."
"This is how the far right’s fantasies can be said to offer, in their own twisted way, a reasonable response to the insanity we are currently building. They lay out a 'politics of antagonistic reproduction,' as Alberto Toscano summarized it, in a world in which social reproduction tends to become ever more antagonistic. Trying to reduce the interpellatory power of these fantasies to a mere effect of fake news is an attempt to disavow this basic fact."
"To be sure, the far right does not paint a rosy picture of the present. On the contrary, theirs is a narrative of civilizational conflict, in which a fantasized spirit of the Crusades is retooled to fight such enemies as migrants, independent women, and Black people. What is remarkable about this narrative, however, is how it displaces the real threats looming on the horizon into distorted, fun-house-mirror versions of themselves."
'Neither Vertical Nor Horizontal: A Theory of Political Organisation' might turn out to be the most important book about political organizing since David Graeber's book 'The Democracy Project'. Here's an interview with the author, Rodrigo Nunes:
