P Gurgel-SegrilloThe myth of the “irrational poor” is often used to justify cutting and restricting public programs. But people on SNAP and Medicaid are anything but irrational.

Emily van Lidth de JeudeI carry a deep sadness knowing that neither of my children wants to or can feel right/safe having children. Also that I myself had children whose lives have already been impacted by changes wrought by our cultural greed. These are things I'm thinking about going into #mothersday

Psychosocial Lens: It uses the "Studies in the Psychosocial" framework, meaning it treats society like a patient on a couch, analyzing the hidden traumas of the Pinochet era that never truly healed.
The "Rebel" Element: It explores how "rebellion" becomes a way for individuals to reclaim their own agency from a system that treats them like data points or debt-cycles.

Key Highlights:
Beyond the Surface: While news reports focused on the burning subway stations, this book interrogates the desire behind the destruction. It asks: What were people actually trying to "break out" of?

The Core Thesis: Why did it "Burst"?
Sánchez isn't just looking at the economics of the 30-peso fare hike. He is looking at the "Unconscious" of the Chilean people. He argues that the Estallido wasn't just a political disagreement; it was a collective psychological eruption against decades of "neoliberal subjectivity"—the feeling of being turned into a "zombie" consumer rather than a human citizen.

A Rebel Unconscious: Interrogating the Desire for Social Change in Chile’s Estallido by Gustavo Sánchez, 2026
This book offers a novel approach to social change by challenging conventional views of the emancipatory nature of political movements. Focusing on the 2019 Chilean revolt, it empirically demonstrates the contradictory ways in which socially desirable experiences are unconsciously organised.

Some Lessons from the Movement in the US Against the #Vietnam War

In the past year, millions in the US have protested Washington’s attacks on democratic rights, #ICE terror, and imperialist war. Among them are many young people, alongside others who have never before taken to the streets.
These activists are testing strategies and tactics and debating how to push back #Trump’s march toward one-man rule. Many of the questions they face have been posed before, perhaps most notably during the anti- #VietnamWar movement in the #US in the 1960s and early ’70s.
As the #war escalated and opposition broadened, discussion flourished over how to build the movement. Debates often centered on the effectiveness of “#DirectAction,” or #CivilDisobedience, vs. mass marches and rallies, and on the demands promoted in these actions.

Among them are many young people, alongside others who have never before taken to the streets. These activists are testing strategies and tactics and debating how to push back Trump’s march toward one-man rule. Many of the questions they face have been posed before, perhaps most notably during the anti-Vietnam war movement in the United States in the 1960s and early ’70s. As a contribution to the discussion of strategy and tactics in today’s struggles, World-Outlook is publishing the 1971 column "Some Comments on the Mayday Actions" by Fred Halstead, a central leader of the anti-Vietnam war movement in the United States.
