ABSTRACT
This chapter will consider each of these in turn before offering some illustrations of these practices in historical and contemporary projects for radically transformative, counter-capitalist democratization. Many theorists of radical democracy interpret this ontological unfinishedness as a cause of either perpetual antagonism or eternal creativity. Critical theories of knowledge enable us to recognize that multiple people are engaged in concurrent processes of meaning-making from diverse and often unequal positions in society and to form a critical view. Thinking in a radically democratic mode implies a process of 'venturing beyond' these narrow parameters of knowledge; thinking bravely with others in a way that is 'directed towards changing the world and informing the desire to change it'. To educate radical democracy, we must have knowledge not only of what forecloses possibility, but also of the particular relations of knowledge to power which enable us to cultivate epistemologies that open alternative possibilities of reordering the world.
