L ’intercontinentale de la fin de la fin de l’Histoire et les contours d’un nouvel humanisme antilibéral : Naxal, C abral, San C ristobal et N épal

Abstract

This article establishes a historical continuity and a theoretical framework solidly linking the Naxalite Maoist rebellion in India, Amilcar Cabral’s political thinking, Zapatismo, the breakthroughs of Maoists fighters in Nepal, and the rebirth of the left in Latin America. The author suggests practical references in order to identify patterns of contemporary militancy that account for the end of the end of history. For all their spectacular impact on the redefinition of modern politics and the direction of world history, sabotaging the penetration of industrial labor in traditional communities, producing semiotic references for a postmodern understanding of “ popular sovereignty ”, and dismissing western democratic liberalism as anti-humanistic may not crystallize into a desirable, consolidated alternative, an intellectual capital plainly able to escort policies of self-fulfillment throughout the Third World in our age.
