In North Africa and the Middle East it took the people a matter of days to topple what were supposedly entrenched regimes. Now, to the west, multiple crises are etching away at a 'democratic consensus' that has, since the 1970s, plagued and suppressed any sparks of revolutionary potential. It is time to prepare for the coming insurrection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this bold and beautifully written book, Eric Hazan and Kamo provide a short account of what is to be done in the aftermath of a regime's demise: how to prevent any power from restoring itself and how to reorganize society without a central authority and according to the people's needs. They argue that neither a leadership reshuffle, in the guise of constitutional progress, nor a transition period between a capitalist social order and a communist horizon will do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFirst Measures of the Coming Insurrection\u003c\/i\u003e is more than the voice of a new generation of revolutionaries; it is the manual for the coming global revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eEric Hazan is a writer, historian and founder of the independent publishing house La Fabrique.
