movements that have (tried to) break away with the state-system and capitalism. All states—regardless

capitalism, which continues to destroy all life on earth—human and nonhuman—has reached its
pinnacle with no prospect of declining. This course shows how some movements have broken away with
the violent civilizational frameworks of our contemporary age. These autonomous movements enact
participatory democracy and egalitarian social systems. The course offers several contemporary case
study of autonomous movements that may hold a view of the future of humanity. The course entails
descriptive accounts of these movements that are enriched by theoretical perspectives. |
