Political orphans --
The 99% : the symbol and the agent --
Life of the oppositional group --
The prefigurative and the political --
Aspiring hegemonic --
Beyond the low plateau --
The invitation we extend --
The we in politics --
Conclusion : the next left zeitgeist.
Hegemony How-To is a practical guide to political struggle for a generation that is deeply ambivalent about questions of power, leadership, and strategy. Hopeful about the potential of today’s burgeoning movements, long-time grassroots organizer Jonathan Smucker nonetheless pulls no punches when confronting their internal dysfunction. Drawing from personal experience, he provides deep theoretical insight into the all-too-familiar radical tendency toward self-defeating insularity and paralyzing purism. At the same time, he offers tools to bridge the divide between anti-authoritarian values and hegemonic strategies, tools that might just help today’s movements to navigate their obstacles and change the world.
