"Wobblies and Zapatistas" offers the reader an encounter between
two generations and two traditions. Andrej Grubacic is an anarchist
from the Balkans. Staughton Lynd is a lifelong pacifist, influenced
by Marxism. They meet in dialogue in an effort to bring together
the anarchist and Marxist traditions, to discuss the writing of
history by those who make it, and to remind us of the idea that "my
country is the world." Encompassing a Left libertarian perspective
and an emphatically activist standpoint, these conversations are
meant to be read in the clubs and affinity groups of the new
Movement.
The authors accompany us on a journey through modern revolutions,
direct actions, anti-globalist counter summits, Freedom Schools,
Zapatista cooperatives, Haymarket and Petrograd, Hanoi and
Belgrade, "intentional" communities, wildcat strikes, early
Protestant communities, Native American democratic practices, the
Workers' Solidarity Club of Youngstown, occupied factories,
self-organized councils and soviets, the lives of forgotten
revolutionaries, Quaker meetings, antiwar movements, and prison
rebellions. Neglected and forgotten moments of interracial
self-activity are brought to light. The book invites the attention
of readers who believe that a better world, on the other side of
capitalism and state bureaucracy, may indeed be possible.
