A Left Populist Strategy for a Green Democratic Revolution
This contribution argues that a left politics should be renewed through a post-foundational and hegemonic approach. It argues that neoliberalism’s post-pandemic, techno-authoritarian turn must be confronted by a counter-hegemonic project linking social justice with ecological transformation. In doing this, it advocates for a Green Democratic Revolution that mobilizes collective affects, connects ecological, feminist, anti-racist, and labour struggles, and deepens democracy through radical reformism rather than rupture. This strategy, the essay contends, can forge a new popular majority and reassert democratic equality against neoliberal post-politics.
