Un inspirador trabajo de campo y análisis reconstructivo de los levantamientos populares masivos de la década pasada que impulsaron cambios y que nos pueden servir de aprendizaje para, por qué no, retomar la propuesta transformadora en el futuro.

Comecei a ler esse livro do @vincentbevins.bsky.social sobre as manifestações dos anos 2010. Ainda não terminei, mas pelo já encaminhado de leitura deixo aqui minha recomendação. Muito interessante não apenas do ponto de vista histórico, mas da discussão sobre as formas de organização da esquerda.

Essentially nothing happens, and the film has almost no political content. It made me weep and I will see it again, ten stars. I wrote about I'm Still Here: www.northsouthnotes.org/p/im-still-h...

This is standard gringo anecdata, so take it as you will: two guys that work in my building in São Paulo (construction, security) were last week very excited about Trump's return. Today they stopped me to angrily complain about the treatment of deportees. "É falta de humanidade ! "
