Global Fascism Revolutionary Humanism and the Ethics of Food Sovereignty

Rajeev Patel

Development, 2005, vol. 48, issue 2, 79-83

Abstract: Social movements struggles against neo-liberalism are always both global and local. Resources to fight this ‘global fascism’ on the ground can be found in a mix of the anti-colonial humanist writing of Frantz Fanon, and in the ethical thinking of Alain Badiou. Rajeev Patel argues that both thinkers ask activist to undertake a critical self-reflective engagement as part of the broader political struggle struggle. He looks at how a framework for this kind of global and local reconstruction has been applied in the fight for Food Sovereignty declared by the international peasant organization Via Campesina.
