Meeting hosted by Anti-capitalist Resistance
Friday 16 October, 7pm (London)
The Global Police State, with author William I Robinson
As the world becomes ever more unequal, people become ever more 'disposable'. Today, governments systematically exclude sections of their populations from society though heavy-handed policing. But it doesn't always go to plan. William I. Robinson exposes the nature and dynamics of this out-of-control system, arguing for the urgency of creating a movement capable of overthrowing it.
"Robinson gives powerful theoretical coherence to everyone's fear that the fascism is being reborn, but adds the important twist that repression itself has grown into an essential engine of accumulation"
Mike Davis, author of 'Planet of Slums' and co-author of 'Set the Night on Fire: Los Angeles in the 1960s"
