Book Synopsis Socialism from Below by : Renton Dave
Download or read book Socialism from Below written by Renton Dave and published by . This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argumentative, contentious and thought-provoking, these collected articles invite us to critically reconnect as a diaspora to the IS tradition not only of Cliff or Harman, but also Hallas, Kidron, Sedgwick, MacIntyre, Harris, Widgery, Higgins and many others, many unsung. This is the extension of an invitation to reconnect not as a lifeless antiquarian exercise or arrogant exclusivism but in the spirit of the critical slogan the IS tradition is dead! Long Live the IS tradition! Jules Alford, Preface The essays collected here were written by Socialist Workers Party (SWP) member Dave Renton in the midst of the biggest crisis in the history of that organisation. Covering topics from anti-racism and womens liberation, trade union work and the history of the SWP and its dissident tradition, Renton argues that the SWP requires a radical democratic overhaul if it is to prove 'fit for purpose' as a home to revolutionary socialists and new generations of anti-capitalists in the years to come.
Book Synopsis The Unfinished Revolution by : Adam B Ulam
Download or read book The Unfinished Revolution written by Adam B Ulam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marxism has been the most pervasive and widespread ideological phenomenon of our times, but seldom, if ever, has it been found in its form. Whenever the Marxist ideology has been historically significant, it has been so as a beneficiary and associate of another set of political beliefs and passions. As a contender for power it seeks to express the dreams and yearnings of societies caught in the painful process of modernization and industrialization. In power it tends to pay lip service to its lofty goals, but associates them with old-fashioned nationalism. Practice does not reflect theory. Ruling elites and parties surpass traditional capitalism in their dedication to political centralization and industrialism at all costs. This revised edition of Adam Ulam's standard work retains the author's summary and critique of Marx's historical, economic, and political arguments. Ulam then examines the relationship of Marxism to other schools of contemporary socialism and to other radical and revolutionary theories. He traces the development of Marxian thought, explains why it has been the potent force in certain societies–while in other societies its influence has been insignificant–and analyzes how Marxism and Leninism have affected the shaping of Russian Communism. Finally Ulam looks at Marxism in the future: the role it will play in the development of the Soviet Union, and how it will affect the contemporary crisis of liberal institutions in the West.

Book excerpt: "Delving into Karl Marx's central works as well as his natural scientific notebooks, published only recently and still being translated, [the author] argues that Karl Marx actually saw the environment crisis embedded in captialism. [The book] shows us that Marx has given us more than we once thought, that we can now come closer to finishing Marx's critique, and to building a sustainable ecosocialist world."--Page [4] of cover.

Book Synopsis Unfinished Utopia by : Katherine A. Lebow
Download or read book Unfinished Utopia written by Katherine A. Lebow and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-12 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unfinished Utopia is a social and cultural history of Nowa Huta, dubbed Poland's "first socialist city" by Communist propaganda of the 1950s. Work began on the new town, located on the banks of the Vistula River just a few miles from the historic city of Kraków, in 1949. By contrast to its older neighbor, Nowa Huta was intended to model a new kind of socialist modernity and to be peopled with "new men," themselves both the builders and the beneficiaries of this project of socialist construction. Nowa Huta was the largest and politically most significant of the socialist cities built in East Central Europe after World War II; home to the massive Lenin Steelworks, it epitomized the Stalinist program of forced industrialization that opened the cities to rural migrants and sought fundamentally to transform the structures of Polish society.Focusing on Nowa Huta's construction and steel workers, youth brigade volunteers, housewives, activists, and architects, Katherine Lebow explores their various encounters with the ideology and practice of Stalinist mobilization by seeking out their voices in memoirs, oral history interviews, and archival records, juxtaposing these against both the official and unofficial transcripts of Stalinism. Far from the gray and regimented landscape we imagine Stalinism to have been, the fledgling city was a colorful and anarchic place where the formerly disenfranchised (peasants, youth, women) hastened to assert their leading role in "building socialism"—but rarely in ways that authorities had anticipated.

Download or read book Acid Communism written by Mark Fisher and published by Pattern Books. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A short zine collecting an introduction to the concept by Matt Colquhoun that appeared in 'krisis journal for contemporary philosophy Issue 2, 2018: Marx from the Margins' and the unfinished introduction to the unfinished book on Acid Communism that Mark Fisher was working on before his death in 2017. "In this way ‘Acid’ is desire, as corrosive and denaturalising multiplicity, flowing through the multiplicities of communism itself to create alinguistic feedback loops; an ideological accelerator through which the new and previously unknown might be found in the politics we mistakenly think we already know, reinstantiating a politics to come." —Matt Colquhoun

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "David North argues that, to the extent that the twentieth century is defined as an epoch of intense capitalist crisis, it is most appropriately characterized as 'unfinished.' The central economic, social and political contradictions that confront mankind at the start of the twenty-first century are essentially the same as those it confronted at the beginning of the twentieth"--Provided by publisher.
Book Synopsis The Future of (Post)Socialism by : John Frederick Bailyn
Download or read book The Future of (Post)Socialism written by John Frederick Bailyn and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the current and future trajectories of the paradigm of postsocialism. If socialism did not end as abruptly as is sometimes perceived, what remnants of it linger today and will continue to linger? Moreover, if postsocialism is an umbrella term for the uncertain times of various transitions that followed in socialisms wake, how might the post be rendered complicated by the notion that the unfinished business of socialism continues to influence the trajectory of the future? The Future of (Post)Socialism examines this unfinished business through various disciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches that seek to illuminate the postsocialist future as a cultural and social fact. Drawn from the fields of history, ethnology, anthropology, sociology, economics, political science, education, linguistics, literature, and cultural studies, contributors analyze various cultural forms and practices of the formerly socialist cultural spaces of Eastern Europe. In so doing, they question the teleology of linear transitional narratives and of assumptions about postsocialist linear progress, concluding that things operate more as continued interruptions of a perpetually liminal state rather than as neat endings and new beginnings. This volume uniquely brings together a range of disciplines, beyond anthropology as the conventional discipline for exploring postsocialism, and a range of cases across post-Soviet space. Most importantly, it refreshingly engages with an exciting framework dealing with time and space. Its talk about futuresthe futures of socialism and the futures of postsocialismis a novel aspect that sets it apart. Johanna Bockman, author of Markets in the Name of Socialism: The Left-Wing Origins of Neoliberalism
