Wars of position: Folk-politics, counter-hegemony and the cooperative movement

A randomly dispersed multiplicity of movements, fights and alternative practices of the ‘common’ is unlikely to elicit broader social change. It is more likely to founder on incoherence, conflicts among heterogeneous courses of action, and the weakness of fragmented, isolated forces that are confronted with entrenched interests. To achieve a minimum of convergence among diverse struggles and to amass enough force to challenge the status quo, we need to engage in the politics of hegemony (Kioupkiolis, 2019: 25-26).
