Democracies 2 Come is for anyone interested in understanding worldwide subaltern collective responses to authoritarian governments. Concrete practices useful for people who imagine other possibilities for what is commonly assumed to be democratic practice are the focus.
We have much to learn in the ways that subaltern autonomies intersect with democracy, understood both as the democracy we think we know and may even claim to practice, and modes of democracy at work beyond the limits of our Eurocentric presumptions to know its universal forms. This blog is about such autonomies both when they control territories (as in the Zapatista movement) and when they take place in parallel with Eurocentric nation-state forms of democracy, what we might call para-democracies.
Democracies 2 Come joins many local organizations to document the Other Ways of knowing differently and living differently, the local autonomies and democratic practices that are yet to be recognized as democracies by those who claim to own and rule the globe. Subaltern autonomies and democracies carry out globally networked practices that may result in justice rather than market share, in respectful community rather than warfare, in freedom rather than subjection to commodification, and in dignity rather than death.
