  abstract: A decade ago, a wave of mass mobilizations described as "horizontal" and "leaderless" swept the planet, holding the promise of real democracy and justice for the 99%. Many saw its subsequent ebb as proof of the need to go back to what was once called "the question of organization." For something so often described as essential, however, political organization remains a surprisingly under-theorized field. In this book, Rodrigo Nunes proposes to remedy that lack by starting again from scratch. Redefining the terms of the problem, he rejects the confusion between organization and any of the forms it can take, such as the party, and argues that organization must be understood as always supposing a diverse ecology of different initiatives and organizational forms. Drawing from a wide array of sources and traditions that include cybernetics, poststructuralism, network theory and Marxism, Nunes develops a grammar that eschews easy oppositions between "verticalism" and "horizontalism," centralization and dispersion, and offers a fresh approach to enduring issues like spontaneity, leadership, democracy, strategy, populism, revolution and the relationship between movements and parties.
