  • ما هي خصائص الثورة المضادة؟

    ما هي خصائص الثورة المضادة؟

     

    كما أن هناك رد فعل لكل فعل، هناك ثورة مضادة لكل ثورة. الثورة المضادة ظاهرة طبيعية، كما هو رد الفعل التالي على الثورة المضادة. ولا تنتصر إحداهما على الأخرى إلا إذا كان رد الفعل أفعل من الفعل الأول. وهذا لا يتم الا إذا أضاف طرف من الطرفين إلى ردّ فعله فهماً أعمق لطبيعة عدوّه. وهنا فقط، من خلال الفهم الأعمق، يرتفع ردّ الفعل عن طبيعته الميكانيكية، ويصبح أداةً لمعرفة فاعلة وجديد..

  • The June Rebellion in Egypt

    The June Rebellion in Egypt

    Despite two and a half years of revolutionary experience, the rebels of June had no plan for the day after Morsi, just as they had no plan after Mubarak. One activist eloquently conveyed to me a typical attitude: he joined the 30 June protests because he believed in harakat al-shari’, the..

    الديمقراطية التشاركية والثورات العربية

    عندما طالبت الشعوب العربية باسقاط النظام هنا وهناك، لم يكن لديها تصوّر مُفصّل حول طبيعة نظام ما بعد الثورة تتعدّى كونة نظاماً ديمقراطياً يتميّز بالشفافية واحترام حقوق المواطن وانعدام الفساد والمسؤليّة امام الشعب. ولكن بروز نزاعات صفرية بين مختلف القوى السياسية وممارسات اقصائية وحالة من الاحتقان والشعور بالاحباط في البلاد التي شهدت سقوط النظام القديم، كلّها تنبع من تجاهل عام لاطر..

  • الشرعية الثورية: كيف تحل مكان شرعية القضاء والدستور؟

    الشرعية الثورية: كيف تحل مكان شرعية القضاء والدستور؟

    برز مفهوم الشرعية الثورية في الأيام الأولى للثورات العربية كتعبير عن إرادة شعبية موحّدة أو شبة موحّدة لأسقاط الأنظمة القائمة، بما فيها دساتير تلك الأنظمة وأي قانون يعترض طريق الثورة. والغريب في الأمر هو أنه رغم القبول العام لهذا المبدأ في فترة بداية الثورة، فقد دخل إلى حيّز النسيان بعد مراحلها الأولى، وتم استبداله بالآليات القانونيّة المعتادة، كالإعلان الدستوري ونظام القضاء كما ..

  • فلسفة اللاسلطوية وثقافة الثورة

    فلسفة اللاسلطوية وثقافة الثورة

     الثورات الناجحة في التاريخ هي الثورات التي تغير الانسان وليس فقط انظمة الحكم. والثورات التنويريّة يمكن أن تُسمّى كذلك لأنها لا تُطيح بنظام حكم بقدر ما تُطيح بعقلية وثقافة سلطويّة مُنتشرة في المجتمع. ومن هذا المنظور يمكن القول بان النتائج الثقافية للثورات العربية الحالية لا يمكن رؤيتها بوضوح إذا ركّزنا أنظارنا فقط على الحراك السياسي في مرحلة الثورة وما بعد..

  • Anarchist, Liberal, and Authoritarian Enlightenments: Notes From the Arab Spring

    Anarchist, Liberal, and Authoritarian Enlightenments: Notes From the Arab Spring

    The Arab spring, as far as we can see, appears to require no guardian intellectual authority, no political leadership, no organized parties. In fact even after revolutionary success, those elements still fail to materialize: there is no party of the revolution anywhere, no leader emerges to embo..

  • Is the 2011 Libyan Revolution an Exception?

    Is the 2011 Libyan Revolution an Exception?

    After the fall of Hosni Mubarak, the strong man of the Middle East on February 11, 2011, the Arab Spring appeared to be an unrelenting force. In the week following his downfall, three theaters of major rebellion—Libya, Yemen, Bahra..

    The Tunisian Revolution: Initial Reflections [Part 1]

    At the moment it is abundantly easy to sense everywhere in the Arab World elation at what appears to be one of greatest events in modern Arab history. A genuine popular revolution, spontaneous and apparently leaderless, yet sustained and remarkably determined,
