believe that, in a
generation or so, capitalism will no longer exist: for the
simple reason that
it’s impossible to maintain an engine of perpetual growth
forever on a finite
planet. Yet faced with this prospect, the knee-jerk reaction
is often to cling
to what exists because they simply can’t imagine an
alternative that wouldn’t
be even more oppressive and destructive. </span><span

collection of
essays David Graeber explores a wide-ranging set of topics
including political
strategy, global trade, debt, imagination, violence,
aesthetics, alienation,
and creativity. Written in the wake of the anti-globalization
movement and the
rise of the war on terror, these essays survey the political
landscape for
signs of hope in unexpected places.<o:p></o:p></span></big></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><big><span
style="font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">At
a moment when the old assumption about politics and power have
been irrefutably
broken the only real choice is to begin again: to create a new
language, a new
common sense, about what people basically are and what it is
reasonable for
them to expect from the world, and from each other. In this
volume Graeber
draws from the realms of politics, art, and the imagination to
start this
conversation and to suggest that that the task might not be
nearly so daunting
as we’d be given to imagine.<o:p></o:p></span></big></p>

find alternatives
to the failed radical projects of the twentieth century? What
are the possible
forms of struggle today? How do we fight back against the
misery of our
crisis-ridden present? ‘Communization’ is the spectre of the
immediate struggle
to abolish capitalism and the state, which haunts Europe,
Northern California
and wherever the real abstractions of value that shape our
lives are contested.
Evolving on the terrain of capitalism new practices of the
‘human strike’,
autonomous communes, occupation and insurrection have attacked
the alienations
of our times. These signs of resistance are scattered and have
yet to coalesce,
and their future is deliberately precarious and insecure.<o:p></o:p></span></big></p>

communization
proposed by Tiqqun and The Invisible Committee, Théorie
Communiste,
post-autonomists, and others, it offers critical reflections
on the
possibilities and the limits of these contemporary forms,
strategies, and

an 18<sup>th</sup> Brumaire for the 21<sup>st</sup> Century:

people in Argentina

shouting <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">“¡Qué se vayan
todos!”</i> These words –
“All of them out!” – hurled by thousands banging pots and
pans, struck at every
politician, economist, and journalist. These events opened a
period of intense
social unrest and political creativity that led to the
collapse of government
after government. Neighborhoods organized themselves into
hundreds of popular
assemblies across the country, the unemployed workers movement
acquired a new
visibility, workers took over factories and businesses. These
events marked a
sea change, a before and an after for Argentina that resonated
around the
world.<o:p></o:p></span></big></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-family:Garamond">Colectivo
Situaciones
wrote this book in the heat of that December’s aftermath. As
radicals immersed
within the long process of reflection and experimentation with
forms of
counterpower that Argentines practiced in shadow of neoliberal
rule, Colectivo
Situaciones knew that the novelty of the events of December
19th and 20th
demanded new forms of thinking and research. This book
attempts to read those
struggles from within. Ten years have passed, yet the book
remains as relevant
and as fresh as the day it came out. Multitudes of citizens
from different
countries have learned their own ways to chant <i
style="mso-bidi-font-style:
normal">¡Qué se vayan todos!</i>, from Iceland to Tunisia,
from Spain to
Greece, from Tahrir Square to Zuccotti Park. Colectivo
Situactiones’ practice
of engaging with movements’ own thought processes resonates
with everyone
seeking to think current events and movements, and through
that to build a new
world in the shell of the old.<o:p></o:p></span></big></p>

weary student
handbook genre is in need of a belligerent mauling. This is
our crack at the
job. We don’t want to talk down to anyone, but neither do we
want to chat them
up, so this is an attempt at thinking out the university from
our own
perspective, that of students. Here we air our dirty snapshot
of the academy,
at least semi-naked, just as we come across it. This potted
guide is our pot
shot at undressing and dressing down this place, the
university, and
understanding our place within it: its problems and potential,
its
power-relations and its possibilities for politicization. This
is our attempt
to share some of the knowledge to be gleaned in the
university, but a knowledge
that is rarely measured on any certificate come graduation
day.<o:p></o:p></span></big></p>

collectively by
the University for Strategic Optimism, in the queasy come-down
afterglow of the
recent wave of student activism in the UK (but looking forward
to cracking-off
another round), this guide attempts to contextualize our
struggle and to bring
it closer to home. Just what is the university that we are
fighting for anyway?
And what perhaps could it be?<o:p></o:p></span></big></p>
