End of the month, end of the world: On social and ecological struggle with the Yellow Vests.

20191204effix

The contemporary reconfiguration of capitalism has blurred the limits between cities and the country, between rural spaces and metropolis. Logistics, nowadays, is a really important dimension of both the organization of capital, and also of the space in a broader way. The Yellow Vest movement is in a way the political consequence of this reconfiguration.

Live from Paris, researcher Effix explores the political context of the Yellow Vests - as a year-long heterogenous movement linked by neoliberal impoverishment and ecological precarity, a departure from traditional forms of dissent, and a possibility that must be linked with international movements rebelling against the predation of global capitalism.

Plateforme d'Enquêtes Militantes released the text Back to the Future: The Yellow Vests Movement and the Riddle of Organization at Viewpoint and Notes From Below.
