Poetry from the Future

Description

A punchy manifesto from the front lines of a rapidly changing Europe

What is democracy? Have our democratic societies turned into a form of totalitarianism? If so, how do they get away with it?

The past is forgotten, and the future is without hope. Dystopia has become a reality. Capitalism and historical revisionism are part of the fabric of this new world of normalised apocalyptic politics. Our passivity is guaranteed if we believe there is no future - this is a radical manifesto for hope in democracy, union and internationalism. Poetry from the Future by Srecko Horvat, a leading European philosopher, calls for a radical internationalism in order to bring true democracy to Europe.
