Author of The Jakarta Method and If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade & the Missing Revolution, Vincent Bevins, joins Bad Faith to discuss how to turn protests into revolutionary change. In If We Burn, he analyzes over a dozen movements from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street to Hong Kong to Brazil to establish the conditions for mass movements. But he takes it a step rather— investigation why those movements haven’t manifested in progress and, in fact, sometimes preceded a political regression. In this sprawling 3 hour conversation, we do “applied history” and try to break down what went wrong after the BLM protests of 2020, and how to prevent those failures now that we’re in the middle of global protests over Israel’s genocide on Gaza.
