In a new report, The Battle for Another World*, I synthesize my conversations with more than 80 activists, analysts, and academics around the world. The report analyzes the rise of the new right, its connections to other far-right actors, and its new global aspirations. It surveys the current state of transnational progressive organizing. It outlines the challenges to that organizing and identify both lessons learned and best practices. And it concludes with a discussion of what’s missing from a robust, multi-issue, progressive transnationalism and how to fill those gaps.

The worst enemy of democracy actually is not anymore military dictatorship; it's gonna be  mafia dictatorship. It's coming. It's coming very quick. One day mafia is gonna be stronger than democracy and we're gonna live in dictatorship.

My transcription is probably a little off. The whole conversation with Josh Kun is really good, mixed with some music too.

There is nothing inherently wrong with having pride in ones origins. We all need to feel grounded and special and part of something bigger than ourselves. Except last November’s elections demonstrated, among many other things, that exceptionalism is dangerous when it translates to superiority. The need to assert one’s intelligence, status or control, should by now be seen as the obvious throwback to colonization and imperialism that it is. And from superiority is a slippery slope to supremacy.
