Interview with Srećko Horvat on Social Movements, Political Activism & DiEM25
In this interview with author, philosopher and activist, Srećko Horvat, we talk about a number of issues pertaining to social movements, political activism and the movement he founded with Yanis Varoufakis called Democracy in Europe Movement 2025.
- Why has the left and social movements faltered since World War II?
- What role does idealism play in social movements? Should initiators, organizers and participants shy away from it?
- Does love and empathy have a place in social movements? Are they taken into consideration when aiming to combat a greater injustice?
- What is the background and goal of the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025?
- Are certain initiatives (climate justice, veganism, racial equality, etc) too narrowly focused and just combating symptoms instead of addressing the roots? Do they have a common denominator which could lead to consolidation or reprioritization?
Please Support our Crowdfunding:
We need independent media now more than ever! Mainstream media simply isn’t providing the public with the information it needs to make thoughtful and informed decisions. acTVism Munich is a young independent and non-profit media portal hoping to fill that void but we rely heavily on donations to bring you thought-provoking reports and opinion in both German and English. We also want to be able to pay for cost intensive investigative journalism with local and global perspective. We also know that resources are spread thin and wallets are stretched to the max. But if you find access to independent media as important as we do, please help us by donating to this crowdfunding initiative. Thank you
