Subverting The Present, Imagining The Future

To subvert is to bring to the fore what is hidden beneath the forms of bourgeois respectability - a respectability in which every human contents has its price. To subvert is to imagine the communist individual in revolt against any system - economic, political, cultural or religious - where humanity is no more than an object to be manipulated, exploited, and dominated. This volume examines the social-historical constitution of capitalism and its dynamic, analyses the contemporary means of subversion-in-movement, and assesses the trajectory of struggles in the Americas, from Argentina to Mexico, from Bolivia to the United States of America. Authors include the Midnight Notes Collective, Massimo De Angelis, Werner Bonefeld, Paul Zarembka, Mariarosa Dalla Costa, the Leeds May Day Group, Harry Cleaver, Nick Dyer-Witheford, Stevphen Shukaitis, Ana Dinerstein, George Caffentzis, Conrad Herold, Patrick Cuninghame, and Sergio Tischler.
