A potência feminista, ou o desejo de transformar tudo

In recent years, the feminist movement has taken on a new kind of prominence. The sheer scale and radical nature of this political movement spilled out onto the streets and transformed the nature of various struggles. As part of an ongoing process, *La potencia feminista* is written in the spirit of militant research, amidst assemblies and strikes, in dialogue with comrades from around the world, posing questions and developing ideas from within the organisational dynamics. In this sense, the strike—as a concept and as a collective experience—serves as a lens through which to delineate some current issues within the feminist movement and political theory in general: a diagnosis of the crisis that allows us to connect economic, financial, political, institutional, colonial and social forms of violence; the need to bring together acts of rebellion, moving beyond the rhetoric of victimisation; and a concrete challenge to neoliberal logic. In the current context of a resurgent neoliberal and conservative counter-offensive, the commitment to a transversal feminism linked to the conflicts within different bodies and territories offers the possibility of developing an alternative theory of power founded on the desire to change everything.
