A prologue to the volume
The new volume for 2016 marks the historic developments of a
year which most analysts had already characterized as a
seminal year. This is the year that perhaps marks the
beginning of the end of the New World Order of neoliberal
globalization! It began with the Brexit revolution in
Britain in June, which then spread to the USA in November
and beyond (Italy in December and perhaps France next April
and so on).
All these historic developments are analysed in this issue
in a series of articles by Takis Fotopoulos, beginning with
DIEM25, a pseudo-manifesto of one of the main players on the
globalist ‘Left’, Yanis Varoufakis, who as the Finance
Minister of the Syriza government played a leading role in
the Greek economic and social catastrophe that was completed
by this supposedly ‘progressive’ government, sealing the
fate of the Left not only in Greece but also well beyond it.
The main perhaps aim of this ‘manifesto’, as shown in the
first article, was to slow down or even avert the rise of
the neo-nationalist movement in Europe and beyond. In fact,
this parody of a Left manifesto not only did not succeed in
this aim but, inadvertently of course, led to exactly the
opposite: a massive rise of the neo-nationalist movement in
Europe and USA and the corresponding move en masse of the
victims of globalization including the working class from
the Left to these movements. In other words, the rise of
these movements was the catalyst for the Brexit revolutions
in both Britain and America!
The volume, following an analysis of this pseudo-Left
manifesto, continues with a series of articles on what the
stakes were in the British referendum, examining at the same
time the important new phenomenon, the rise of the
neo-nationalist movements in place of the bankrupt,
(theoretically and politically), Left. At the same time the
raging counter revolution against the British people
following the unexpected (by the elites) referendum result
is analysed.
Finally, in the last two articles, the even more unexpected
dramatic victory of the neo-nationalist forces in the USA
under Donald Trump are examined, as well as the possible
dramatic implications of Brexit on UK and US
The articles, vastly expanded with a new material, have just
taken the form of a book published in November and then in a
second edition in December with a new chapter ––which is
also the last article of this volume, a new article on top
of the pre-publications from this volume we had in the past.
This is a new seminal 3-volume work on the
New World Order in
Action, with the
first volume entitled “Globalization, The Brexit
Revolution and the ‘Left’” being the general introduction to
the work, as developed through an analysis of the events in
Ukraine, Greece and the Middle East.
