The political exhaustion of a patched-up, crisis-prone neoliberalism as the cohering logic of regulatory order has once again induced instability in the US economic and social balance of powers. The post-2008 neoliberal doctrine is no longer hegemonic in economic or political terms. While the presumed ruling ideology is not holding sway over the popular classes, the rise of insurgent social forces, both far right and left, is not yet coherent in the wake of a deepening organic crisis. Which structural relations should movements take a critical stock of? What are novel ways to move “beyond the echo chamber” and forge organization and mass power? How do narrative blocs speak to a scale of change and serve as the basis of the construction of a counterhegemonic popular bloc? These and questions about the current cycle of progressive and popular struggles will be discussed by drawing on observational research on the Global Justice Movement, the World Social Forum, as well as on groups and activists in Philadelphia and the Tampa Bay area.
