While new social movements were shaking up Britain and much of the world, Westminster politics seemed stuck. It was time, he decided, for a different approach. Over the next half century, the radicalized Benn helped forge a new left in Britain. He was joined by four other politicians, who would become comrades, collaborators and rivals: Ken Livingstone, John McDonnell, Diane Abbott and Jeremy Corbyn.

This book documents each month of the first year of the pandemic and examines the issues that emerged, from racialized workers to residential care to policing. It demonstrates how politicians and uncritical media shaped the popular understanding of these issues and helped to justify the maintenance of a status quo that created the worst ravages of the crisis. Spin Doctors argues alternative ways in which Canadians should understand the big themes of the crisis and create the necessary knowledge to demand large-scale change.

Story
This book is a study of the relationship between revolution and terror. Historically, many have claimed that revolution inevitably devolves into terror, best reflected in the way in which after coming to power the revolutionary elite turns on itself, and one section of it uses terrorist means to eliminate another section. Graeme Gill argues that in order to understand the relationship between revolution and terror, it is necessary to distinguish between different types of terror.

Despite its manifest failures, the narrative of neoliberalism retains its grip on the public mind and the policies of governments all over the world. By this narrative, less regulation and more ‘animal spirits’ capitalism produces not only greater prosperity, but more freedom for individuals in society - and is therefore morally better. But, in The Road to Freedom Stiglitz asks, whose freedom are we – should we be – thinking about? What happens when one person’s freedom comes at the expense of another’s?

Story
Lenin's work and influence have often been written off as no longer relevant, and many today consider this to be so. Lenin has, they claim, had his day, even though he is still revered in China, the world's most populous country. However, Lenin, like his mentor Marx, has had a tendency to rise from apparent decline and oblivion to renewed force and influence.

Story
Este é o resumo de Sociedade paliativa. A sociedade paliativa é uma sociedade do curtir. Ela degenera em uma mania de curtição. O like é o signo, o analgésico do presente. Ele domina não apenas as mídias sociais, mas todas as esferas da cultura. Nada deve provocar dor. Não apenas a arte, mas também a própria vida tem de ser instagramável; ou seja, livre de ângulos e cantos, de conflitos e contradições que poderiam provocar dor. Esquece-se que a dor purifica. Falta, à cultura da curtição, a possibilidade da catarse. (Trecho da obra).

The Radical Imagination of Black Women

Story
Pearl K. Ford Dowe argues that ambition for Black women cannot be measured only by political candidacies and ascents of the political chain of power. Black women are uniquely positioned within their communities to influence politics and public policy, which stems from unique variables of socialization, gender and racial identity, and marginalization that shape the political attitudes of Black women. Thus, Dowe asserts that Black women's political ambition often manifests outside formal politics, in activism and community building, a process that is linked to a wider radical vision.

Story
Die AfD ist in Ostdeutschland auf dem Vormarsch. In Umfragen ist sie oftmals die stärkste Partei, und liegt in einigen Bundesländern gar bei 35 Prozent. Doch das heißt: zwei Drittel der Ostdeutschen wählen nicht AfD. Susan Arndt gibt dieser oft übersehenen Mehrheit in ihrem sehr persönlichen Buch eine Stimme und zeigt, dass es auch ein anderes Ostdeutschland gibt und die AfD ein gesamtdeutsches Problem ist.
