But it doesn't always go to plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilliam I. Robinson exposes the nature and dynamics of this out-of-control system, arguing for the urgency of creating a movement capable of overthrowing it. The global police state uses a variety of ingenious methods of control, including mass incarceration, police violence, US-led wars, the persecution of immigrants and refugees, and the repression of environmental activists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe writes in his Introduction, “I offer a ‘big picture” of the emerging global police state in a short book that is eminently readable. The pages to follow may startle many readers and make them angry. I trust the work will serve as a warning of the dystopic future that is upon us. More importantly, by exposing the nature and dynamic of this out-of-control system, I hope it will contribute to the struggles to bring about an alternative future based on human freedom and liberation.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMovements have emerged to combat the increasing militarization, surveillance and social cleansing; however, many of them appeal to a moral sense of social justice rather than addressing its root: global capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing shocking data which reveals how far capitalism has become a system of repression, Robinson argues that the emerging megacities of the world are becoming the battlegrounds where the excluded and the oppressed face off against the global police state.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scorpio Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43179679875131,"sku":"Q97216-6330","price":46.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0369\/1895\/1995\/files\/1769699573305ZN7Q6AC41TLPL49RHMS4_85a0d2f7-8ddb-4cd9-baec-91d54da57c07.jpg?v=1793039473","url":"https:\/\/www.scorpiobookstore.com\/products\/pre-order-approx-4-6-business-days-global-police-state-by-william-i-robinson-9780745341644-zz-751b6","provider":"Scorpio Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
