You were born into a world where injustice and inequality reign, on a planet that is collapsing. Wake up and prepare! You are a partisan of the Revolution – a war that has been raging since people first demanded democracy. You dream of a better world, where protest will be unnecessary, but for this to happen, the end of protest must come first. How; The book you are holding will help you discover it!
With this book, author and activist Micah White addresses the revolutionaries of tomorrow. On the occasion of the Occupy Wall Street movement, of which he was a founder, and its subsequent "constructive" - as he characterizes it - failure, he is looking for the next method of social activism that will end today's ostensible democracy and the dominance of wealth. His mission is to convince would-be revolutionaries to stop repeating the same tactics and envision an innovative method. With a deep look into the past as well as the revolutionary movements of the present, he develops a unified theory of revolution and proposes three scenarios for our next interplanetary rebellion to succeed!
Micah White offers us a deeply honest, courageous, and ultimately optimistic view of how humans can make a much better world, and why they haven't yet.
