For Paul Ariès, the left is responsible for its dead ends. Choosing to sacrifice trade union centers, the cooperative movement; would not carry out class struggle in the field of living; It chose to integrate popular media in the new material and psychological economy of capitalism; understanding nothing about antiproductivism and the consequences of the environmental struggle.
The author suggests multiplying individual, collective and institutional experiences, reinventing a new trade unionism with many bases, a municipal socialism, a social and solidarity economy. Appealing to the new forces on the left, the rebels, the truants able to teach, so as to recapture the margins and also open new areas outside the system. This is a call to stall, to opt for “dis-adherence".
