This is our chance. This is our task. The idea is to explore whether counterrevolutions are different or similar to those other forms of uprisings, how they are connected (or not) to other modalities of revolt, and what exactly is meant by the term &#8220;counterrevolution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>By way of provocation, it might be that\u00a0today, in this country, the Counterrevolution is in fact modeled precisely on uprisings from the mid-twentieth century. Today&#8217;s Counterrevolution in the United States may bear stark similarities to a modalities of revolt we&#8217;ve already studied\u2014especially <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.law.columbia.edu\/uprising1313\/2-13\/\">Maoist insurrection<\/a>. It may be its mirror image.Perhaps this is no coincidence. The French commanders who developed modern warfare in the 1950s did so in direct response to Maoist insurgencies in Indochina, and they did so by <em>appropriating<\/em> Maoist strategy and thought\u2014as did American commanders struggling against the Vietcong in Vietnam. The texture of the Counterrevolution today is Maoist. Paradoxically, that may be the lasting legacy of May \u201968.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to Uprising 13\/13!<\/p>\n<p>[Read full post <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.law.columbia.edu\/uprising1313\/bernard-e-harcourt-how-our-government-became-maoist-the-paradoxical-legacy-of-may-68\/\">here<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a9 Bernard E.
