We live in the twilight of neoliberalism: the ruling classes can no
longer rule as before, and ordinary people are no longer willing to
be ruled in the old way. Pursued by global elites since the 1970s,
neoliberalism is defined by dispossession and ever-increasing
inequality. The refusal to continue to be ruled like this - 'ya
basta!' - appears in an arc of resistance stretching from rural
India to the cities of the global North. From this network of
movements, new visions are emerging of a future beyond
neoliberalism. We Make Our Own History responds to these visions by
reclaiming Marxism as a theory born from activist experience and
practice. This book marks a break both with established social
movement theory, and with those forms of Marxism which treat the
practice of social movement organising as an unproblematic process.
It shows how movements can develop from local conflicts to global
struggles; how neoliberalism operates as a social movement from
above, and how popular struggles can create new worlds from below.
