The occupy movement that is currently sweeping the world is in fact a spontaneous revolutionary movement and lacks direction as the working class, the 99 percent, is not aware of itself as a class. This book attempts to bring to the 99 percent, the proletariat, the awareness of itself as a class and its historical destiny of overthrowing the capitalist class, the 1 percent, creating a socialist state for the benefit of the vast majority, and subsequently crushing the desperate and determined resistance of the 1 percent through the dictatorship of the proletariat.

In this new title in Verso’s Pocket Communism series, Jodi Dean unshackles the communist ideal from the failures of theSoviet Union. In an age when the malfeasance of internationalbanking has alerted exploited populations the world over to theunsustainability of an economic system predicated on perpetualgrowth, it is time the left ended its melancholic accommodationwith capitalism. In the new capitalism of networked information technologies, ourvery ability to communicate is exploited, but revolution is stillpossible if we organize on the basis of our common and collectivedesires. Examining the experience of the Occupy movement, Deanargues that such spontaneity can’t develop into a revolution andit needs to constitute itself as a party. An innovative work of pressing relevance, The Communist Horizonoffers nothing less than a manifesto for a new collective politics.
