Synopsis
In 1958, Belgian surrealist Marcel Mariï+½n drafted a plan to topple capitalism on a global scale-achievable in a single year, in any place, at any time. The catch? It required three hundred accomplices, and it was destined to fail.Mariï+½n's text dares to imagine the unimaginable, offering a blueprint as much for play as for politics. By fusing the spirit of surrealism with the urgency of the atomic age, Mariï+½n exposes the thin line between theory and performance, reality and fiction. This book captures one of his boldest gestures: a proposal not to succeed, but to alter the very way we think about revolution.
