To follow up Nightmares of Capitalism, Pipe Dreams of Democracy, we present The Empire Has No Clothes, an overview of the factors we expect to shape the context of struggle in 2012. These include intensifying repression, the struggle for the internet, the crisis of legitimacy facing representative democracy, and the fault lines within our resistance movements themselves. We anticipate a new round of confrontations, more pitched than the last, and the stakes are only getting higher.

To ring in the new year, we’ve composed a review of the upheavals of 2010 and 2011, reprising the highlights of our earlier coverage to outline why some efforts have taken off while others have hit walls. “Nightmares of Capitalism, Pipe Dreams of Democracy” serves as a prehistory of the Occupy movement, offering context for the form it has taken and the challenges ahead for all who sincerely desire social transformation. It’s the first in a series of strategic analyses with which we are kicking off the new year. We have high hopes for 2012: let’s take stock of how we got here, survey the terrain, and get ready to go for it.
