Synopsis
The past few years have seen previously unthinkable change in North Africa and the Middle East. In mere days, protest movements were able to topple supposedly entrenched regimes in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and Yemen, a testament to the power of the people―and the fundamental vulnerability of corrupt governments.
With First Measures of the Coming Insurrection, Eric Hazan and Kamo push the lessons of the Arab Spring to their next logical step: the eventual fall of failing regimes throughout the West. As multiple crises chip away at the democratic consensus, what should people do to prepare for the coming upheaval? Point by point, Hazan and Kamo explore what must be done in the aftermath of a regime’s collapse―how to prevent established powers from re-taking control, how to reorganize society without central authority, and how to build governance according to people’s needs. Breaking from those who would envision a “democratic transition” and the classical communist idea of a “transition period,” they instead offer guidance for quick, effective action and organization in a time of crisis.
The sequel to a book that Glenn Beck called “quite possibly the most evil thing I have ever read,” First Measures of the Coming Insurrection will be essential reading for a new generation of activists.

Review
'This has been a period of many insurrections - from the Arab Spring to the Occupy movements in Greece, Spain and the US - but not of revolutions. Why? First Measures of the Coming Insurrection attempts to answer this vital question by soberly examining the logical space between insurrection and revolution and what it takes to traverse it. It is a serious reflection on what constitutes revolution that is bound to attract much attention.' George Caffentzis, author of In Letters of Blood and Fire: Work, Machines, and the Crisis of Capitalism 'In these days of endless crisis and recurring revolt, Hazan and Kamo provide an exhilarating vision of the insurrectionary upheaval that lies ahead - and the steps that can be taken to ensure the creation of the irreversible. Combative, imaginative and exceedingly timely, First Measures of the Coming Insurrection will stand out as a key reference for the post-2011 generation of activists.' Jerome Roos, founder and editor of ROAR Magazine
