A collaboration between the Museum of Care, created to continue the work of the late David Graeber, anthropologist, anarchist thinker and activist, and the Real Democracy Movement
SOCIAL PROGRESS IN CHILE WITH OR WITHOUT THE STATE?
Across the world people often try to use the powers they have been granted by the state to bring about social change. And sometimes they strive to go beyond the state to create autonomous enclaves.
In this session, facilitated by Fiona Harrington, Fernando Quintana will discuss recent attempts to replace the Chilean constitution, originally imposed after the 1973 military coup in which General Augusto Pinochet overthrew Chile’s first socialist president, Salvadore Allende. One of Museum of Care’s members will summarise some of David Graeber’s ideas of democracy and ask why did Occupy refuse to respond to the demand to make demands?
