Book excerpt: "The World We Wish to See presents a sweeping view of twentieth-century political history and a stirring appeal to take political organization seriously. Amin offers provocative analysis of contemporary resistance to neoliberalism, while boldly calling for a new global movement, 'an internationalism of peoples, ' to challenge the current order and fashion a better world. Throughout the last century, great revolutions, the socialist and communist internationals, and national liberation movements presented a serious challenge to global capital. Neoliberalism and the U.S. drive for military hegemony have given birth to new political and social movements and new attempts at international organization, such as the World Social Forum. Amin maps these oppositional formations, new and old, critically assessing their potential and limitations for the revolutionary project today. The World We Wish to See draws a distinction between 'political cultures of conflict' and 'political cultures of consensus.' Amin explains that effective opposition must be based in a 'convergence in diversity' of the world's oppressed and exploited -- workers, students, peasants and other opponents of the neoliberal order. What is required today is a new 'international' with an open and flexible organizational structure to coordinate the work of oppositional movements around the globe. Included in this volume is the full text of the Bamako Appeal, described as a Communist Manifesto for our age, and Amin's provocative new essay 'Political Islam in the Service of Imperialism.' Amin's masterful analysis offers new ground for realizing the world we wish to see."--Http://www.monthlyreview.org (April 19, 2011).

Book Synopsis THW WORLD WE WISH — A Novel by : John Moody

Download or read book THW WORLD WE WISH — A Novel written by John Moody. This book was released on 2023-11-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The stakes were enormous. Hui was planning a wide-reaching offensive that would eliminate any challenges to his position as architect of the digital universe. Not just in China, but the world. If it worked, even Xi Jinping would think twice about doing anything to displease him... “This was Chinese ingenuity at its best, Hui thought....” The World We Wish continues the love-hate dichotomy among Hui Jen-Sho, China’s architect of Artificial Intelligence, who sees the metaverse as a new world to conquer; Henry, the American wunderkind who betrayed his birthland; and the woman they both covet, the ravishing Ma-lin Cho. Just as in today’s China, where the only truth comes from the Communist Party—Socialism with Chinese characteristics—in the metaverse, nothing is what it seems. “The World We Wish takes the reader inside the stark realities of the Chinese communist system. A fascinating and intriguing story that seems too real to be fiction.” —Bill Gertz, journalist and author of Deceiving the Sky: Inside Communist China’s Drive for Global Supremacy. “Drenched in black humor, The World We Wish offers insight into a nation that echoes history’s most notorious regimes... Its greatest strength may be its knack for revealing what’s kept at arm’s length from us via the media and academia.” —Christian Toto, author, editor of HollywoodinToto.com
