Abstract: The hope for a unique revolutionary actor in the XX Century evaporated
as a result of the weaknesses of social organizations in the face of the multiple
crises that proliferated in the post-war era, generating doubts about the possibility
of revolutionary change. This paper examines the potential of an almost forgotten
group of revolutionary actors – collectively organized and deliberately involved in
processes of social and productive transformation with a legitimate claim to territory
– whose present-day activities involve them in concerted processes to consolidate a
different social structure on the margins of the global capitalist system. Indigenous
and peasant communities throughout the Americas are self-consciously restructuring
their organizations and governance structures, taking control of territories they
claimed for generations. They are also reorganizing production to generate surplus,
assembling their members to take advantage of underutilized resources and peoples’
energies for improving their ability to raise living standards and assure environmental
conservation and restoration. These communities are not operating in isolation. They
coordinate activities, share information, and build alliances. Hundreds of millions of
people are participating in this growing movement; they occupy much more than
one-quarter of the world’s land area. There is great potential for others to join them,
expanding from the substantial areas where that are already operational, transforming
societies and ecosystems, consolidating post-capitalist societies.
