is both critical and self-critical.In this persuasive argument, Amin explains that effective opposition must be based on the construction of a "convergence in diversity" of oppressed and exploited people - whether they are workers, peasants, students, or any other opponent of capitalism and imperialism. What is needed is a new "international" that has an open and flexible organizational structure to coordinate the work of opposition movements around the world."The World We Wish to See" is a bold book, calling for an international movement that can successfully transcend the current world order, in order to pursue a better world. Amin's lucid analysis provides a firm basis for furthering this objective. This book is a logical continuation of previous Samir Amin's work on political economy of unequal development, imperialism and capital accumulation on a world scale. As capitalism is unequal and by its nature divided on centre and periphery the revolution is dependent on its uneven logics of development. From this point of view Amin looks at previous struggles like revolutions in Russia and China and national liberation in the Third World and contemporary struggle against neoliberalism. Amin thinks that transition towards a socialist future would take a form of a contradictory "long transition". Unfortunately Amin says little about the tactics of contemporary struggle and his approach of political culture is not sufficient for analysis. Nevertheless the work is interesting as an introduction to his thought and the problematics of political implications of unequal development under imperialism. 0 of 6 people found
