Reviews
"The very best and most fruitful interrogations of political life often come from a deep and scrupulous plunge into a single event. So it is with Markus Lundström's brilliant analysis of the battle in the streets of Husby in 2013. The result is a subtle, philosophically informed, and original understanding of the possibilities for enacting the promise of anarchism." --James C. Scott, author of The Art of Not Being Governed: An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia "This is movement-based theorizing at its best. Lundström offers a compelling genealogy that details how anarchism might radicalize democracy, or might have to move entirely beyond it. This is an important book for those wondering what comes next, after alterglobalization, after Occupy, for activists in Europe and North America." --Richard Day, author of Gramsci Is Dead "This book takes seriously tensions within anarchism between making democracy more participatory vs. making a more radical arrangement beyond democracy. Lundström exemplifies these tensions, and appeals to a variety of anarchist writers for the theoretical tools to think this tension productively." --Kathy Ferguson, author of Emma Goldman: Political Thinking in the Streets "Advancing on the anarchist tradition, Lundström's argument is timely, compelling, and deeply grounded in the collective experience of radical democratic contestation. This book deserves wide attention from scholars and activists alike." --Uri Gordon, author of Anarchy Alive! "Lundström's comprehensive, accessible and inclusive examination of anarchist thought defends an approach to democracy that combines uncompromising critique with a conception of anarchising change." --Ruth Kinna, author of Anarchism: A Beginner's Guide "This book offers a powerful critical inquiry into the relationship between anarchism and democracy. Lundström traces a genealogy of critique that sheds new light on the conflict at the heart of democracy and its imperative to govern. Anarchism, he contends, must be understood as elsewhere to such appeals to authority. In placing anarchism outside of these bounds, Lundström compellingly argues that we must move beyond the enchanting discourse of democracy, even in its radicalized form, to accept anarchism on its own terms." --Simon Springer, author of Fuck Neoliberalism: Translating Resistance "Lundström convincingly argues that th aporias of democracy are best explored within the anarchist tradition, which has always had an ambivalent attitude to democracy: what he calls the Impossible Argument. In drawing on the theoretical resources of nineteenth and twentieth century anarchism, as well as empirical research from the site of contemporary struggles against the state, Lundström effectively illustrates the central tensions of democracy, developing from this new ways of thinking about radical democracy in the twenty first century." --Saul Newman, author of Postanarchism, "The very best and most fruitful interrogations of political life often come from a deep and scrupulous plunge into a single event.

Synopsis
In this updated edition of Anarchist Critique of Radical Democracy: The Impossible Argument, sociologist and historian Markus Lundstrom explores the boundaries of Swedish democracy. He probes in-depth interviews with community residents to explain how the 2013 riots intensified a profound, democratic conflict: the social divide between the governors and the governed. Resistance to this divide is then traced through the defiance of governance and approaches to democracy in the history of anarchist thought., In the spring of 2013, a wave of urban riots swept across Sweden after police shot an elderly man in his own home. When community residents from his marginalized city-district demanded an official apology, they were ignored. The anti-police insurgences that followed addressed deep problems of the Swedish welfare state, and the official responses revealed glitches built into democracy itself.
