EMANCIPATORNI POTENCIAL GIBANJ V VSTAJAH V SLOVENIJI 2012–2013
EMANCIPATORY POTENTIAL OF THE MOVEMENTS ENGAGED IN THE 2012–2013 UPRISINGS IN SLOVENIA

Summary/Abstract: The text rethinks the emancipatory potential of the movements engaged in the uprisings during 2012–2013, the most powerful in the history of the independent Slovenia. Regardless of their organisational form, time of occurrence or number of members, what is in focus is their understanding of politics and the potential to establish strategies for political operation. The author derives from the fundamental axiom that serious consideration of politics necessarily involves consideration of the basic radical equality among people that is emancipatory politics. The analysis is based on interviews with 19 movements that were active during the uprisings and shows some tensions between those who were active are within the paradigm of ‘the possible’, where politics is understood as a rule, and those in the field of ‘the impossible’ that is inventing spaces for politics based on radical equality beyond the struggle for power.
