Agenda and meaning of the antisystemic movements

Abstract

Contemporary social movements become antisistemic in their own dynamics, when they deepen their pledges and discover the nature and interconnections of the obstacles they face.  The intuition, anticipated by radical thinkers of the last half century, that we are at the end of an era becomes a general asset.  Starting from the experiences of the Popular Assembly of the People of Oaxaca, this paper analyses the need to clean our points of view –still contaminated by the era that is ending- upon conceiving current struggles and undertaking the efforts of transformation.  It would be sterile if they are trapped in the former view.  The new society cannot be mere extrapolation of the old one.  Upon presenting the need to prepare the funeral of the economical society (capitalism and socialism), of the American empire and of the Mexican political regime, I also suggest roads to give greater precision to the paths and manners of the current anticapitalist struggle.
