Excerpt from The Long-Wished-for Revolution: Announced to Be at Hand in a Book Lately Published, by L. Meyer Because in ms band is all [he power, and to him we wish to give all the glory, to say the kingdom is his own; that the kingdoms of this world may become the kingdoms of the Living God, and for the power of evil to be destroyed, is the only revo lu tion that can be in the heart, to make us happy in time or eternity. And Tnts revolution is now wished for by all those who wish to inherit the tree OP lipe, which the lord preserved for man in the beginning, that'we might be no longer filled with the carnal mind, that is at enmity against God, but, as children of God, be at enmity against the Serpent, that seduced our first parents, by subtle arts, to dis obey and fall from happiness, and who hath been as a roaring lion ever since, seeking whom he may de vour. Now, in our hearts, to revolt against him, is the only revolution that can he wished for, to make us happy; and this revolution in the heart, as spoken of in the Scriptures, must first be esta blished before our happiness can take place, in this world of sin and sorrow. Christ must be the desire of nation 3, before the Desire of Nations will come. Now, when men's hearts are filled with love, longing for the coming of their Lord, to see his name.

"The World We Wish to See presents a sweeping view of twentieth-century political history and a stirring appeal to take political organization seriously. Amin offers provocative analysis of contemporary resistance to neoliberalism, while boldly calling for a new global movement, 'an internationalism of peoples, ' to challenge the current order and fashion a better world. Throughout the last century, great revolutions, the socialist and communist internationals, and national liberation movements presented a serious challenge to global capital. Neoliberalism and the U.S. drive for military hegemony have given birth to new political and social movements and new attempts at international organization, such as the World Social Forum. Amin maps these oppositional formations, new and old, critically assessing their potential and limitations for the revolutionary project today. The World We Wish to See draws a distinction between 'political cultures of conflict' and 'political cultures of consensus.' Amin explains that effective opposition must be based in a 'convergence in diversity' of the world's oppressed and exploited -- workers, students, peasants and other opponents of the neoliberal order. What is required today is a new 'international' with an open and flexible organizational structure to coordinate the work of oppositional movements around the globe. Included in this volume is the full text of the Bamako Appeal, described as a Communist Manifesto for our age, and Amin's provocative new essay 'Political Islam in the Service of Imperialism.' Amin's masterful analysis offers new ground for realizing the world we wish to see."--Http://www.monthlyreview.org (April 19, 2011).
