The ordeal of the Greek left has demonstrated the limits of the state-centric approach to social change – and the dream of a return to a fair and inclusive capitalism lies in tatters.
From the ERT broadcaster shutdown, to the failure to support the Vio.Me factory cooperative, to the privatization of Thessaloniki's water, the Syriza government has broken promises and missed opportunities.

This last month has shown America that society will gladly tolerate vigilante violence, provided a vigilante chooses the right target.

The way the urban commons create a space to solve material problems and enable social movements to forge city-wide networks are antidotes to people being attracted towards the far-right.
