Il y a trente ans les augures annonçaient le triomphe mondial de la démocratie et l’avènement d’un âge consensuel où la considération réaliste des problèmes objectifs engendrerait un monde apaisé. Si ces belles espérances ont été cruellement démenties, ce n’est pas seulement par l’agression de forces externes. C’est de l’intérieur que le consensus s’est révélé comme la violence d’un capitalisme absolutisé et comme une machine à fabriquer toujours plus d’inégalité, d’exclusion et de haine. Les interventions réunies ici suivent les étapes de ce retournement à travers les campagnes de la pax americana, de l’invasion de l’Irak à celle du Capitole, et la progression continue chez nous d’un racisme d’en-haut qui a su enrôler à son service les progressismes désenchantés. Mais elles s’attachent aussi à suivre la dynamique des mouvements qui n’ont cessé d’affirmer, contre la logique mortifère du consensus, la puissance des égaux assemblés et leur capacité d’inventer d’autres formes de monde.

From the Arab Spring to the Spanish Indignados, from Occupy Wall Street in New York to Nuit Debout in Paris, contemporary protest bears the mark of citizenism, a libertarian and participatory brand of populism which appeals to ordinary citizens outraged at the arrogance of political and financial elites in the wake of the Great Recession. The book draws from 140 interviews with activists and live witnesses of occupations and demonstrations to explore the new politics nurtured by the "movement of the squares" of 2011-16 and its reflection of an exceptional phase of crisis and social transformation. Gerbaudo demonstrates how in waging a unifying struggle against a perceived Oligarchy, today's movements combine the neo-anarchist ethos of horizontality and leaderlessness, inherited from the anti-globalisation movement, and a resurgent populist demand for full popular sovereignty and the reclamation of citizenship rights. The volume analyses the manifestation of this ideology through the signature tactics of these upheavals, including protest camps in public squares, popular assemblies and social media activism. Furthermore it charts its political ramifications from Podemos in Spain to Bernie Sanders in the US, revealing how the public square occupations have been foundational to current movements for radical democracy worldwide
