In this episode, Vincent Bevins, author of If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution, and Lewis Maghanga, General Secretary of Kenya’s Revolutionary Socialist League, join our host, Mamka Anyona, to examine the record of protests in Kenya and across Africa, situating these within a broader global rise in mass protests. The guests critique the horizontalist, “leaderless, structureless” approach of recent mass mobilization efforts which have been effective in disruption but short on securing the desired change. They argue for disciplined, ideological organization while warning against repeating the authoritarian pitfalls of past leftist movements.You can purchase Vincent Bevin's book "If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution" here; https://vincentbevins.com/book2/?amp
