Book launch and open discussion: Which side are you on?

book launch moderated by Florin Poenaru

Time: Friday, 21 February 2014, 7 pm.
Venue: tranzit. ro/ Cluj, Brassai Sámuel Street, no. 5, Cluj-Napoca

After the book launch, there will be a discussion moderated by the members of the CriticAtac online editorial on the theme Which side are you on?


After months of protests in which most of the observers and of the participants still refused to recognize a potential anti-capitalist movement, after tens of public delimitations and retractions from any articulated critique of the ongoing economic injustice, perhaps the shortest way to revive and coagulate the left would consist in identifying our common enemies.

Too many progressists end caught up in primitive refrains on the necessary and urgent civilizing of the people, too many ngo-activists, public moralists, private politicians and think-tanking lobbyists suffocate any form of exposure and denunciation of the continuous capitalist aggression of the last decades.

Perhaps it is time, then, to ask, as the late Pete Seeger did: Which side are you on?
