“If parliamentary politics tends to face inwards towards the existing sense of the possible, then social movements and extra-parliamentary politics have traditionally provided avenues for the left to face the other way, and develop strategies for “inventing the future”. Over the last three hundred years, the big leaps forward in our collective sense of the politically possible have come from radical social movements, alongside working class organisation." - Keir Milburn https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/4592-the-defeat-of-youth-the-generational-dimensions-of-the-2019-general-election
Renovate the Future: "The truth is: to renovate the future, we will need a place (virtual for the moment) to work. And a variety of tools, by which we mean ideas, old and new. Let me talk about these ideas for a moment.
The poet W. H. Auden once suggested that most people carry around in their minds one of two imaginary landscapes: either Eden or Utopia. The Edenic people tend to be liberal arts types, lovers of fantasy, tradition-minded, often religious. Whereas the Utopians are friendly to modern technology, readers of science fiction, analytical, and serious-minded about the world’s problems.
And yet . . . we are no longer in Auden’s Eurocentric world. We are moving into the global Pluriverse, as it’s called — a pluralistic, post-development “world . . . in which many worlds fit,” as the Zapatistas describe it."
