    On 8 October 2019, riot police and other armed security forces violently evicted what had come to be known as L’Amassada, a ZAD (Zone-to-Defend) occupation in Saint-Victor-et-Melvieu in southern France. The following, written a year after the eviction, outlines the goals, structure, and accomplishments of the occupation as well as the political and environmental context of ongoing ZAD struggles against the economic and ecological destruction required by “green” development.

    What Time Will It Be After Capitalism?

    In this time of expanding possibilities and immanent dystopias, how do we think through a revolutionary conception of time? In this article, a review of Jérôme Baschet’s book, Défaire la tyrannie du présent. Temporalités émergentes et futurs inédits (La Découverte, 2018), Christophe Bonneuil tackles the temporal dimensions of overcoming capitalism by way of a detour through the Zapatista experience, offering a deep insight into our relationship to history.
