Zombie Book ClubWe can do No Kings, or we can do KillDozer (Casual Dead) | Zombie Book Club Ep. 144Eight million people showed up, and many on the internet called it pointless. We don't buy the nihilism; but we also don't pretend a permitted Saturday rally is the same thing as disrupting power. This episode, we dig into what No Kings actually does well (making dissent visible, connecting you to neighbors and organizations, being the tip of a much larger iceberg), and what it doesn't do on its own. We talk Montgomery bus boycott logic, general strike groundwork, mutual aid, and how movements win by targeting pocketbooks and prestige. Paperwork is the unsexy engine of real organizing.

You Are Not So Smart336 - The 3.5 Percent Rule - Erica Chenoweth (rebroadcast)If you want to overthrow a dictator, resist an authoritarian regime, or create a movement that can change the national status quo, you don't need half the country, you only need 3.5 percent of the population to join – but there are some caveats, and Erica Chenoweth whose research led to the discovery of the 3.5 Percent Rule, explains them to us in this episode.

As Jesse Jackson advised: “When we act out of fear, rather than hope, we get bitter, rather than better.” Nonviolent Civil Disobedience gives us hope. At a time when people protesting are taking to the streets in greater and greater numbers, civil disobedience is an effective tool of resistance. It was used by Gandhi, Dr. King, Bishop Tutu, and others. From India to South Africa to Alabama, civil disobedience worked. Unjust laws are challenged and rolled back. But it’s not easy.

They are very much with us now.Political violence in the United States didn’t peak on January 6th. It metastasized. From threats against election workers and school board members, to attacks fueled by conspiracy, grievance, and organized extremism, the impact of violent political action continues to ripple through our communities — shaping who feels safe, who participates, and whose voices are pushed out of public life.In this co...

The Vermont Conversation with David GoodmanMaria Stephan on the 3.5% Rule and how nonviolent protest can stop authoritarianismThe No Kings protests in October, which drew over seven million people across the country, were hailed as the largest demonstrations in American history. Now the question for many people is: What works to stop authoritarianism?Maria Stephan has been studying this question. Her award-winning book, “Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict,” co-authored with Erica Chenoweth of Harvard, examines a century of resistance movements around the world. They determined that nonviolent protests are more than twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts. Chenoweth went on to coin the widely cited 3.5% Rule, which stat...

Assembly Required with Stacey AbramsHow 3.5% of People Can Change EverythingThe act of protest is a vital, visible, and essential tool in resisting the fall of democracy, and it takes commitment, disruption, and denial – three of the ten steps to freedom and power. While protest gives us a platform to voice our grievances, foster solidarity, and demand change, it is not the only tool we have in our toolbox. When combined with other forms of direct nonviolent action — such as strikes, economic boycott, documenting abuses of power, and providing mutual aid like meals , and more — the impact multiplies. And one of the leading scholars of resistance has a theory: if just...

The pipeline, in Malm’s formulation, is not just a literal pipeline, but the pipeline from new fossil fuel projects like mines, wells, and infrastructure, to future fossil fuel emissions. This, he believes, desperately needs blowing up.His...

JesusfolketIckevåld fungerar dubbelt så ofta som våld (med Lotta Sjöström Becker från Kristna Fredsrörelsen)Forskning från Harvards universitet visar att ickevåldsliga motståndsrörelser har varit dubbelt så framgångsrika som våldsamma motståndsrörelser under 1900-talet. Samtliga ickevåldsrörelser som har omfattat minst 3,5 % av befolkningen har lyckats genomföra sina mål. Även i Ukraina har över 200 ickevåldsaktioner haft framgång i att motarbeta den ryska invasionen, enligt en studie från International Catalan Institute for Peace.
Men diskussionerna i Sverige om kriget i Ukraina kretsar nästan uteslutande om militära händelser och strategier som kan leda till seger. Men pekar inte ickevåldsforskningen på att...

The hard won rights women have attained over the past century—to education, to full participation in the workforce, in politics, and civic life, and to reproductive healthcare—have transformed society and corresponded with historic waves of democratization around the world. But they have also increasingly become the target of authoritarian leaders and regimes looking to displace democracy with hierarchies controlled by male elites and to re-confine women...

Professor Erica Chenoweth ist Professorin für Human Rights & International Affairs an der #Harvard Kennedy School. Sie hat bahnbrechende Untersuchungen über die Effektivität von gewalttätigen und nicht gewalttätigen politischen #Umsturzversuchen über 120 Jahre durchgeführt. Das Ergebnis war überraschend. Das nicht gewalttätigen Aufbegehren der Bevölkerung ist deutlich erfolgreicher als die Gewalt. Ich übertrage ihre Ergebnisse auf #Deutschland und bemerke erschreckende Übereinstimmungen.

Global in the Granite StateWomen V. AuthoritariansIn a recent article for Foreign Affairs, Erica Chenoweth and Zoe Marks argue that Authoritarians repress women's rights for more than just chauvinism, but because they actually "fear" the power women hold in creating lasting democratic change through pro-democracy movements. In this episode, we discuss why women help to make these movements so successful and what this means for the prospects of democracy around the world. In a time when authoritarianism is on the rise and women's rights are being rolled back by these same governments, it is important to understand how these issues intersect. Article Link...

SoonishAmerican Reckoning, Part 1: Civil Wars and How to Stop ThemWelcome to a special two-part series about the looming clash over the future of America. In Part 1, we look at the tattered state of our democracy as the election approaches, and we assess nonviolent ways to respond to the twin threats of political polarization and President Trump's thuggish behavior. Part 2 is coming October 12.These are probably the last two pre-election episodes I’ll make, so I decided to try something a little ambitious and probably a little crazy: making sense of 2020 in all its perverse complexity.

GradwandlerKleine Taten, Große Wirkung
Ein herzliches Wilkommen an die neuen Zuhörer unseres ersten Podcasts „Gradwandler“.Entgegen des allgemeinen Narrativs, der Einzelne und sein Verhalten wären angesichts von gesellschaftlichen Mehrheiten bedeutungslos, glauben wir, die Gradwandler, an die Macht des Individuums. Fortschritt ist natürlich nicht an kurzfristige, radikale Paradigmenwechsel gebunden, sondern kann auch stets durch sukzessiven Wandel errungen werden.Das mag trivial klingen. Doch, geht es darum, Eigenverantwortung zu übernehmen, flüchten sich viele Menschen in einen wohligen Fatalismus, dessen beruhigende Erkenntnis lautet: „Ich alleine kann sowieso nichts ausrichten.“ Ungerecht wäre es zu behaupten, solche Reaktionen gründen nur auf bloßer Gemü...
