ABSTRACT Many of the struggles that emerged in the wake of the 2008 global economic crisis eventually experienced decomposition in the face of multiple internal and external threats. While movement composition and decomposition are inevitable in the natural cycle of popular struggles, this article argues that what David Theo Goldberg has termed “the threat of race” constituted one important factor that brought about the eventual demise of these popular mobilizations. By drawing on the cases of US Occupy Wall Street, European anti-austerity protests, and South African struggles against xenophobia, it points to global continuity in anti-blackness across disparate geographies. As these same regions currently confront the threat of righting authoritarianism, this article argues we must also take a self-reflexive look at the seeds of reaction embedded in otherwise progressive and left-wing formations in order to achieve a more sobering account of our present predicament.

斗争分解对种族的全球威胁

摘要2008年全球经济危机之后发生的许多斗争最终在面对多重内部和外部威胁时经历了崩溃。尽管在群众斗争的自然循环中不可避免地要进行运动的组成和分解，但本文认为，大卫·西奥·戈德堡（David Theo Goldberg）所说的“种族威胁”是导致这些群众动员活动最终消亡的重要因素。通过借鉴美国占领华尔街，欧洲反紧缩抗议以及南非与仇外心理的斗争等案例，它表明了不同地区反黑现象的全球连续性。由于这些地区目前都面临着纠正专制主义的威胁，
