It's about looking for alternatives, but: where? With whom? based on what ideas? How to be anti-capitalist in the 21st century(Akal, 2020), the posthumous book by Erik Olin Wright, is, in this context, almost an oasis in the desert. With a format similar to that of a political pamphlet —without scholarly references or bibliography—, the American sociologist who died in 2019, a victim of leukemia, seeks to identify the scattered pieces that could forge a new left for our time.
Wright starts from a simple premise that is dear to the Marxist tradition with which, until India Email List last days, although in a heterodox way, he continued to identify himself: the sources for overcoming the current social, economic and political system already nestle in the form of a germ within of the. Although capitalism has proven capable of generating effective mechanisms to regenerate itself and neutralize those who try to overthrow it, This does not imply that this situation will remain that way over time.
For Wright, the political action of the left has, for this very reason, a specific meaning. The notion of "anti-capitalism" used by Olin Wright is extensive and includes the most diverse strategies that, in one sense or another, attack the prevailing logic and assume capitalism as the main antagonist of a democratic and egalitarian project. These strategies, measured by the author himself, not only have not been historically complementary, but have collided with each other.
