  1. If you are new to organised left-wing politics, pick a flavour of revolutionary socialism.

    This is my fave, it may not be yours but it's a great place to start learning what *you* believe or don't believe in.

  2. Why a Decade of Protests Didn’t Lead to Revolution

    " A wide-ranging exploration of protest forms, ‘anti-politics’, failures of both Leninism and horizontalism, the roles of popular culture and social media, etc., from the Seattle-era US to the 'Arab Spring,' Brazil, Ukraine, Chile and Hong Kong. The author concludes that representative structures are less likely to be coopted by the right than wide-open ones, which suggests that our challenge is to create organizationally-sophisticated participatory structures that can transcend the problems of both. The Brazilian MST, which he describes as "hierarchical but very democratic” is cited briefly as one example."

    "From 1959-60, in the context of the Cold War, during the establishment of the neocolonial bourgeoisie and in the face of France's obstinacy in refusing the UPC its rightful place in Kamerun, asking if the UPC was communist could only have one revolutionary answer: Yes it was, since its leaders were already talking explicitly about socialism as the end goal of the UPC's struggle. Read:

    “The UPC follows the example of China and Indochina, and seeks to build a socialist society modeled on that of People's China.”

    This is what the highest official of the UPC [Moumié] said, addressing a young executive and designating without ambiguity the socialist horizon as the objective to be achieved in Kamerun.
