Cité par Nicolas Casaux I am sympathetic to Gelderloos' overarching argument and thesis, but I think he shoots himself in the foot with forced, overstated, easy arguments ("it is worth noting that so and so's book does not denounce killing puppies") and peppered meaningless insults (eg: "the authoritarian Muslim Brotherhood" --thanks bro, we don't need your cheap guidance on how to feel about them, especially when you make no effort to explain and the argument is just as forceful without the editorial adjective). My eventual review of this book (since I am too far behind the reading group to bring up these issues in person to comrades) will basically be a list of dumb shit Gelderloos says. And this despite my total agreement with his overall thesis. Maybe I'll make it into the appendix of the next book, har har har. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
From the Arab Spring to the plaza occupation movement in Spain, the student movement in the UK and Occupy in the US, many new social movements have started peacefully, only to adopt a diversity of tactics as they grew in strength and collective experiences. The last ten years have revealed more clearly than ever the role of nonviolence. Propped up by the media, funded by the government, and managed by NGOs, nonviolent campaigns around the world have helped oppressive regimes change their masks, and have helped police to limit the growth of rebellious social movements ... The Failure of Nonviolence examines most of the major social upheavals since the end of the Cold War to establish what nonviolence can accomplish, and what a diverse, unruly, non-pacified movement can accomplish. Focusing especially on the Arab Spring, Occupy, and the recent social upheavals in Europe, this book discusses how movements for social change can win ground and open the spaces necessary to plant the seeds of a new world.
