Overview

This article discusses political trajectories towards achievable utopias in the context of polycrises, suggesting permanent revolution as a model for social transformation.

Key Points

  • The article argues for political trajectories aimed at achievable utopias, rather than impossible, idealized futures.
  • It critiques the transcendent nature of current political views, presenting the concept of permanent revolution as a viable alternative.
  • The analysis is informed by classical and contemporary anarchist theory, challenging the antinomy of revolutionary and evolutionary social change.
  • A focus on the temporal aspects of political action considers reframing the means and ends as interconnected and non-linear.
