A response to the idea of transforming British politics through citizens entering parliament for one-term only.

Audio: Founder of openDemocracy, Anthony Barnett, discusses the Occupy movement and its antecedents on Resonance FM show Novara hosted by Aaron Peters.

A global day of collective action in 82 countries shook the world on October 15, 2011. Yet the protests were not co-ordinated by political parties, unions or other institutional actors. They were driven by the rapid dissemination of memes, made possible by the internet.

Ten years after 9/11, the 'War on Terror' in Britain is being replaced by a 'War on the Underclass' as exceptional legal powers and the militarization of the police come to constitute the new normal.

Notting Hill Carnival - despite predictions of disorder after London's riots - was hailed as 'peaceful' and a 'success'. The price was basic civil liberties, as the normal rule of law was suspended across the capital, and stop-and-search powers abused

A global movement is taking shape. The failure of neoliberalism, the development of new technologies, a burgeoning class of the over-educated and under-employed: all play a part in its birth. Yet the movement is only now beginning to recognise itself and its future role

Novara is a new weekly show that engages with political theory, current affairs and cultural debate. It is hosted by activist and graduate student Aaron Peters on Resonance FM. Discussion ranges from political aesthetics and activism to social history, locating these debates within a topical context relevant for the listener.

Is the 'information revolution' truly revolutionary? The internet presents us with a choice. Either we permit the recuperation of the web by capital – or we resist, and insist on the values of the commons

Online networks are increasingly seen as of huge importance for how social movements organise - be it in Wisconsin, Cairo or London. However, what is missing is the recognition that online, commons-based forms of production are methods of political contention and practice in their own right

If Facebook have acted at the request of a state body then the ‘Facebook Purge’ of activist accounts in the UK during the royal wedding is an issue with freedom of association and assembly at its very heart.

The fallout from the TUC demonstration on March 26th, which saw the mass arrest of peaceful UK Uncut activists following the police’s failure to deal with the controversial black bloc earlier in the day, has lent added urgency to debates about the nature of networked activism, its limits and potential in a shrill and reductive political environment. Here, we are re-publishing an article by Guy Aitchison and Aaron Peters which deals with some of these issues in the context of the emergent anti-cuts movement. Written at the end of 2010 as a contribution to Fight back!, it forms part of OK’s debate on the “networked society”.

Much of the critical rhetoric attacking UKUncut's choice not to denounce the violence on March 26th fails to understand the organisational make-up of the UKUncut network and, more generally, of the national anti-cuts movement.

The world is only now waking up to the radically transformative potential of the network. Our ability to reflect and evaluate on such 'revolutionary' change is struggling to keep pace with the technology itself. The OurKingdom debate on the networked society aims to have a place at the forefront of this struggle.
