“A compelling vision, an urgent necessity, and not beyond
reach.” Noam Chomsky
The past is
forgotten, and the future is without hope. Dystopia has become a
reality. This is the new normal in our apocalyptic politics - but if
we accept it, our helplessness is guaranteed. To bring about real
change, argues activist and political philosopher Srecko Horvat, we
must first transform our mindset.
Ranging through time
and space, from the partisan liberation movements of Nazi-occupied
Yugoslavia to the contemporary culture, refugee camps and political
frontlines of 21st century Europe, Horvat shows that the problems we
face today are of an unprecedented nature. To solve them, he argues
in this passionate call for a new radical internationalism, we must
move beyond existing ways of thinking: beyond borders, national
identities and the redundant narratives of the past. Only in this way
can we create new models for living and, together, shape a more open
and optimistic future.
