The role of planning in the ecosocialist transition a contribution to the debate by Michael Löwy https://tinyurl.com/txtgz4u -----Original Message----- From: Marxism [mailto:marxism-boun...@lists.csbs.utah.edu] On Behalf Of Jim Farmelant via Marxism Sent: Saturday, May 09, 2020 2:31 PM To: rfid...@ncf.ca Cc: Jim Farmelant Subject: [Marxism] From a forthcoming article on socialist economic planning >From a rough draft of a forthcoming article on socialist economic planning >being written with Djamil Lakhdar-Hamina and Brendan Sullivan. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Visions of Socialism: One of the most striking phenomena in US politics since the 2008 economic crash has been a revival of interest in socialism, especially among the Millennial generation. In fact, you would have to go back some eighty or more years ago to see a time when there was such a big interest in socialism. Even in the 1960s, the last period when we saw the flourishing of major leftist political movements , there wasnt so much a mass interest in socialism as much as there were movements led by people who identified as socialists or communists. Most public discussion then was over things like civil rights, black power, and opposition to the Vietnam War. There wasnt that much talk as to what a socialist alternative to capitalism would look like, even though many political activists back then would have described themselves as being anti-capitalist. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
