Strategies for social movements after the meltdown
The fifth issue of Turbulence asks what political strategy is appropriate, when the common enemy, a successfull neoliberalism, has disappeared?
The editorial asks:
For many years, social movements could meet and recognise one another on the common ground of rejecting neoliberalism, society’s old middle ground – those discources and practices that defined the centre of the political field. The crisis of the middle has meant a crumbling of the common. And what now? Will neoliberalism continue to stumble on without direction, zombie-like? Or, is it time for something completely different?
