KPFA - Against the Grain
The Mass Revolts of the 2010s
In the decade of the 2010s, more people took to the streets than in any other time in history. And yet those horizontal protests, often spread through social media, were frequently co-opted by the right — and the decade ended with the rise of authoritarianism. Journalist Vincent Bevins spoke to activists around the world about the lessons they drew from the failed mass revolts, and discusses how democratic movements regained power in Brazil from the despotic Jair Bolsonaro.

Subscribe now for the full episode. Get an annual subscription for $45 with our holiday discount code XMAS2025. Danny and Derek are joined once again by Vincent Bevins, this time to talk about the recent wave of so-called “Gen Z protests.” They explore why that framing explains almost nothing; how contemporary mass protests actually form, why they tend to resemble each other, and why their political outcomes rarely meet their original demands; and the crisis of representation, the collapse of ideology, “explosive mobilization,” and why the military generally decides what comes next. The conversation also touches on wheth...

If We Burn, Then What?
I was asked recently what my politics are, and it unexpectedly made me pause.Like many of you, I assume my beliefs, hopes, and dreams are second nature. No need to restate them. No need to explain. It is obvious to my community what my politics are, right?But if I am honest, the journey that brought me here was messy, full of contradictions, heartbreak, and the occasional misplaced hope.Six years after the October 17 Revolution changed our lives forever, I have spent enough time reading, reflecting, and talking with people, both those...

Pensieri Franchi: I social sono come una miccia che si accende in fretta, ma poi non esplode
Una riflessione nata dalla lettura di "Se noi bruciamo" di Vincent Bevins: cosa resta davvero delle grandi proteste nate e cresciute sui social media? Dalle Primavere Arabe al Brasile, da Hong Kong alle “sardine” italiane, il filo rosso è sempre lo stesso: mobilitazioni rapide, imponenti, ma incapaci di consolidarsi in cambiamenti strutturali.In questo episodio parliamo del ruolo (e dei limiti) dei social network nel generare rivolte senza rivoluzioni, proteste senza conseguenze durature. Perché senza organizzazione, leadership e progettualità, l’indignazione resta un fuoco di paglia. E forse, come dice Bevins, i social non aiutano la democrazia: la rallentano...

Can Mass Protest Movements Deliver Climate Revolution? (w/ Vincent Bevins)
"From 2010 to 2020, more people participated in protests than at any other point in human history. But we are not living in a world that is more just and democratic as a result." In Vincent Bevins' new book, If We Burn, with this argument comes a central question: Can mass protests and uprisings actually lead to progressive change? The answer is complicated and certainly varies greatly from situation, cause, and nation-state depending on an array of existing realities. However, in the mass protest decade of Bevins's focus, 2010-2020, we saw the enormous impact climate protests could have on...

UNLOCKED BONUS EPISODE - I Was in The House When the House Burned Down (w/ Vincent Bevins)
The decade from 2010 to 2020 was one that saw more people around the world participating in protests than at any other point in human history. And yet, looking back, the results of so many of these mass protests, the societal changes that followed, were the opposite of what protestors were demanding. In his new book, If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution, award-winning journalist and foreign correspondent Vincent Bevins asks: Why?

Vincent Bevins: EUA construíram poder global com massacres da esquerda
Nos primeiros anos da Guerra Fria, Jacarta dava nome à política de relativa tolerância dos EUA com a neutralidade dos países do chamado Terceiro Mundo. Em pouco tempo, isso mudou: a Casa Branca passou a considerar que governos neutros eram inimigos, e a CIA começou a patrocinar golpes e rebeliões. A capital da Indonésia, então, virou sinônimo do extermínio de pessoas vistas como comunistas –em 1965, depois de um golpe, de 500 mil a mais de 1 milhão de civis foram assassinados no país. Nos anos seguintes, a eliminação de opositores de...

Canada likes to trade on the “middle power” trope.

But behind the facade is a past and present of neocolonial plundering. Canada is a mining powerhouse, off on extractive misadventures in the Global South. It’s also a notable contributor to the global arms trade, including a weapons deal that helps fuel the devastating Saudi-led war in Yemen. We look at Canada’s role in...

Ep. 886: Vincent Bevins Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio
In 1965, the U.S. government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the twentieth century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA’s secret interventions were so successful. In this bold and comprehensive new history, Vincent Bevins builds on his incisive reporting for the Washington Post, using recently declassified documents, archival research, and eye-witness testimony collected across twelve co...
