"""As a Marxist, I have to say that to be a communist in today's world is hard and precarious. Gilman-Opalsky's Imaginary Power, Real Horizons is a vital source of inspiration to be a communist today and to envision a new utopia based on love."" Kohei Saito, author of Marx in the Anthropocene ""A utopian flight to the North Star of the imagination where the fatal logic of capitalism has been subverted from the bottom up by the riotous abolitionist drumbeats of communist forms of life bouncing off anarchic explosions of free improvisation emanating from outside the stunted chord changes of reality. Radical ideas bubbling up and interpenetrating in a liberating dialectical stew of marvelous becoming. A triple-somersault in the air above mountains where love abounds and every day is May Day!"" --Ron Sakolsky, author of Surrealism and the Anarchist Imagination ""There is a commendable urgency to Imaginary Power, Real Horizons, as we stand today in contemplation of what appears our inevitable demise. Richard Gilman-Opalsky recognizes that ideas have the power to inspire hope for an age in which a just society is a barely tangible flicker. This book is a much-needed shot in the arm."" Ciara Cremin, author of The Future Is Feminine: Capitalism and the Masculine Disorder"
