Magical Marxism: Subversive Politics and the Imagination by Andy Merrifield

5.0

Merrifield takes Sorel's observation that people are not inspired by dry analysis but by living movements, and attempts to find a Marxist spirit that is both ephemeral and resilient. Politically he draws some of the same conclusions as John Holloway - that liberation can be found in the "cracks" in the system, but he presents them in a way that is life-affirming and non-prescriptive.

He also provides valuable commentary on The Invisible Committee's "The Coming Insurrection", which he regards as our generation's "Society of the Spectacle".
