À propos de ce contenu audio
The Revolution is Recursive presents a new framework for understanding and guiding systemic change through the principles of the Spectrum of Possibility and Recursive Choice. It challenges the old image of revolution as a single break in history and instead portrays transformation as an ongoing, adaptive process shaped by feedback, learning, and shared agency.
Drawing from leftist political theory, the book reinterprets Marxist historical materialism and anarchist critiques of hierarchy in light of recursive systems thinking. It shows how revolutionary movements, from the Paris Commune to the Russian Revolution and Spanish Civil War, were shaped by their ability, or inability, to adapt to shifting conditions and maintain coherence across scales.
Moving into the present, it examines capitalism and neoliberalism as systems that have lost their adaptive capacity, tracing how economic expansion, ecological exhaustion, and growing inequality are symptoms of recursive failure, where short-term gains erode the stability needed for long-term survival. What emerges is a vision of transformation grounded in decentralization, collective intelligence, and ethical coordination. Revolution, in this sense, is not a single moment of rupture but a living process through which societies learn to reorganize themselves.
By linking material forces with recursive feedback and cooperative agency, The Revolution is Recursive offers a practical and philosophical foundation for building liberatory systems that can endure and evolve in the face of complexity.
