Unashamedly polemical, this reissue of Freedom & Equality,
first published in 1986, presents a strong and persuasively argued
case for democratic socialism. In contrast to many recent books
justifying conservatism and varieties of Marxism, Keith Dixon
defends the two great principles underpinning democratic socialism
- freedom and equality. He aims both to restore the idea of freedom
to its proper place in the political vocabulary of the left and to
defend a stark version of freedom as absence of constraint. Only
this version of freedom, he argues, is consistent with the proper
defence of civil liberties. Dixon also defends radical
egalitarianism from its critics, who either repudiate its full
force or reject it out of hand. He believes that freedom and
equality are potentially realizable socialist goals, that
democratic socialism is not necessarily linked with fraternalism,
and - above all - that it should be based upon a firm and
consistent conception of individuality.
