Inside The Fight For Radical Democracy In Britain’s New Left Party

October 25, 2025 Adam Ay, Waging Nonviolence. , , ,
How do you distill the hopes and dreams of nearly one million supporters, build a political party that accurately reflects them, and do so in a matter of months? With its founding conference imminent, and a surprisingly vast base of support eager to feed into it, this was the quandary that Your Party, Britain’s brand new left-wing party, found itself in this summer.  One person who had a solution was Roger Hallam. The totemic climate activist, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil, believed the party needed to do something both mundane and radical. It had to put its faith in local assemblies — meetings where ordinary people come together to discuss issues and find solutions.

The ‘Project Marvel’ Deal That San Antonians Deserve

September 11, 2025 Paola Aguirre Serrano, Next City. , , ,
In 2025, the familiar story of sports-and-entertainment megaprojects plays out once more. On one side are the skeptics, wary of whether millions in public funds truly benefit everyday San Antonians; on the other are the enthusiasts, captivated by glossy renderings and big promises. In September 2024, Project Marvel was covered by media for the first time — a new vision to return the Spurs to downtown, near the Alamodome, reshaping the area into a sprawling entertainment and mixed-use district. The city’s 2002-built Frost Bank Center, previously known as the AT&T (and SBC) Center, opened at a cost of approximately $175–190 million, financed via hotel and car-rental tax increases alongside a Spurs contribution of $28.5 million.

Plenums In The Post-Yugoslav Space

April 22, 2025 Yavor Tarinski, Grassroots Economic Organizing. , , ,
We see that in different temporal and spatial realities, in moments of social upheaval, that societies begin to move and self-organize. There is a common trait that often connects such experiences – the emergence of grassroots institutions that allow for direct participation of the citizenry. These reflect what CLR James has termed as universal sentiment towards direct democracy. Such democratic institutions emerged during the French Revolution in the form of sectional assemblies, in the heyday of the Haitian Revolution as organs of the people, in the early stages of the Russian Revolution as soviets, throughout the Spanish Revolution in the shape of popular committees.
