Organizing for Autonomy
«
"CounterPower offers a deeply thoughtful analysis that is rooted in people's everyday struggles to end oppression. At a time when the criminal failures of capitalism endager the entire planet, Organizing for Autonomy is rich with revolutionary possibility."
—Barbara Smith, cofounder of the Combahee River Collective and Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press“The old world is collapsing all around us, and communism is in the air. Organizing for Autonomy asks us to breathe deeply of that air, to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our comrades, and to plot the way forward together. Its cohesive analysis and ambitious vision point toward the North Star and offer a militant strategy for how to get going. It is not a roadmap to the new world, but no matter. After all, communism is not the destination, it is the path itself.”
—Geo Maher (George Ciccariello-Maher), author of Building the Commune and Decolonizing Dialectics"Capitalism got us into this mess. Organizing for Autonomy advances the conversation about how we can achieve a different—and better—way of living, in a world without bosses."
—Steve Wright, author of Storming Heaven"In the new phase of history, and of struggles, which is opening up now, it's essential to keep alive the link with the history of the :eft, and to sum this up critically as a guide for future practice. Organizing for Autonomy is a great contribution to that task."
—Robert Biel, author of The New Imperialism and The Entropy of CapitalismPraise for CounterPower
“Whenever I meet someone who is radicalizing, who is looking for a way to understand the world we live in and inspire hope that we can live in a fundamentally different and liberating society, [CounterPower’s] writing are some of the first pieces I share along with Wretched of the Earth, Sister Outsider, This Bridge Called My Back, and models of change from Mexico to Spain.”
—Uruj Sheikh, Campaign Manager, The Real News Network“[A]n organization of organizers, a revolutionary organization involved in mass struggles…serious, smart…[with] no qualms about calling itself revolutionary”
—Todd Gitlin, author of Occupy Nation and a founding member of SDS.“Sounds benign and non threatening; however a closer look reveals an organization that is bent on the destruction of America…Their beautifully written mission statement and other language on their web site, boiled down to basics, shows that the organization wants to replace our capitalist system with socialism at best.”
