Abstract

Today’s left movements are rejecting neoliberalism and pivoting toward mass politics through an array of strategies and tactics. Struggles for reforms—or nonreformist reforms—loom large. This essay examines Occupy Wall Street, defund the police, and relations between the Green New Deal and the Red Deal as a way to contribute to critical thinking about demands in popular struggles from below and the left. The author’s aim is to push us toward a stickier vocabulary through which to think with today’s movements and their demands, as a way to participate in building popular understandings and struggles that have the potential to reconstitute the political, economic, and social.

这可能是住房;或者，需求到底是什么?

今天的左翼运动正在拒绝新自由主义，并通过一系列战略和战术转向大众政治。争取改革或非改革主义改革的斗争迫在眉睫。本文考察了“占领华尔街”运动、撤掉警察资金、绿色新政和红色新政之间的关系，从而有助于对来自下层和左派的民众斗争中的要求进行批判性思考。作者的目的是把我们推向一个更有粘性的词汇，通过它来思考今天的运动和他们的要求，作为一种参与建立大众理解和斗争的方式，这些理解和斗争有可能重建政治、经济和社会。
