About this listen

The Revolution is Recursive: Rethinking Radical Praxis offers a groundbreaking framework for understanding and enacting systemic transformation by integrating the SPARC principles of the Spectrum of Possibility and Recursive Choice with leftist political theory. It challenges traditional notions of revolution as a singular, deterministic rupture and instead reimagines it as a dynamic, iterative process rooted in adaptability, feedback, and collective agency.

Through historical analysis, philosophical critique, and contemporary examples, The Revolution is Recursive reveals how recursive praxis can shape a more equitable and sustainable future.

This audiobook revisits Marxist historical materialism and anarchist critiques of centralized power, highlighting how SPARC enriches these traditions by emphasizing the multiplicity of paths available at any given moment. It examines revolutionary moments such as the Paris Commune, the Russian Revolution, and the Spanish Civil War through the SPARC lens, uncovering the adaptive processes and structural limitations that shaped their trajectories.

Moving into the present, the book critiques capitalism and neoliberalism as systems inherently maladaptive to the challenges of an interconnected world. It dissects the contradictions within capital—alienation, environmental degradation, and systemic inequality—and exposes neoliberalism’s rigid market logic and individualistic ethos as drivers of ecological and social collapse. These systems, the book argues, are not only unsustainable but self-defeating, accelerating their own demise through recursive cycles of crisis.

The Revolution is Recursive proposes a bold vision for governance and revolutionary praxis grounded in decentralization, collective intelligence, and ethical decision-making.
