Postcapitalist Futures: The Last Revolution (ver_fn_1a_12_10_21) : revolution at the endgame of capitalist globalization

Postcapitalist_ Futures_Last_Revoluition_ver_fnal_1a_12_10_21

The text proceeds apace, and a new book will soon emerge, hopefully. There is something desperate in the world situation. Climate doom is fast approaching and yet it seems as if all the politicians are frozen zombies in a world going mad. Stranger still the left is paralyzed and the suspicion arises that the legacy of Marxism is part of the problem. Nothing can resolve the problems of Marxist theories but a strange conclusion arises: who needs the ponderous baggage of Marx, historical materialism or dialectical materialism. A framework for transformation, reformist or revolutionary’, can be recreated from scratch. The key point is that democracy is dying but a revolution to real democracy sits in the wings, waiting.

From world history to postcapitalism

This strange situation in the US is like an invitation to pass to revolutionary transformation. The revolutionary option is rejected by reformists, but the current system is itself revolutionary, in the midst of a revolution from the right.

The latter has to be redefined and clarifies to the point that it has popular support.  That Trump’s base is unable to see their own advantage in a real socialism shows the paradox all along of the populist right. It takes a pretty big screw up by the left for that to happen.We disown the past and start with a new far left populist socialism with both a robust new type of economy and an emergency economy as the world system slides into chaos.

A new socialist social system requires a lot of work, historical, legal, constitutional, and economic.
We have a set of books and materials dealing with a hypothetical movement called The Red Forty-eight Group, with a manifesto and a neo-communist construct, Democratic Market Neo-communism in the context of ecological socialism. Continue reading “From world history to postcapitalism” →
