"There is perhaps no organization with a better reputation among #leftists around the world than the #MST. Its admirers will tell you that the group has managed accomplishments that elude #progressive movements elsewhere: It maintains a radical approach, pushing for revolution in the long term while providing homes and incomes for working-class #Brazilians in the short; it has adapted to shifting conditions without suffering major rifts; and it fought to get Luiz Inácio #Lula da Silva, Brazil’s once and current president, out of prison in 2019 and back into power, all while keeping its independence from the ruling #WorkersParty."

The Power and Symbolism of Brazil’s Landless Workers’ Movement

After mobilizing to defend democracy and meet people’s immediate needs, the radical Marxist organization emerged from the Bolsonaro regime stronger than ever.

"The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World", by Vincent Bevins

#Book presentation: "In 1965, the U.S. government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the twentieth century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful."

#Quote from book: “I fear that the truth of what happened contradicts so forcefully our idea of what the Cold War was, of what it means to be an American, or how globalization has taken place, that it has simply been easier to ignore it.”

Votare non salva più nessuno: lottare è la “nuova” politica

Che fare. Le ultime amministrative hanno confermato la “separazione” tra persone e partiti. Unica chance: le esperienze dal basso, da New York alla Spagna

This Is Why The Left Has Failed | Ash Sarkar Meets Vincent Bevins

–– 'The 2010s saw a new era of mass protest, from Arab Spring uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and Syria, to Occupy Wall Street, EuroMaidan and Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement. Many of these movements shared a "horizontalist" or leaderless approach and most of them ended in failure.
Vincent Bevins experienced some of these movements up close. In his latest book "If We Burn" he tries to explain why the movements of the so-called "New Left" didn't succeed and what lessons we can learn from them.'
