This comprehensive collection draws upon and reengages with a long
history of Marxian-anchored thought to analyze the potential for
social transformation through a reinvigorated radical Left, all
within the context of the ascendance of an increasingly
ethnonationalist, patriarchal, and authoritarian far Right
worldwide. The authors identify and reflect on strategies, tactics,
and possibilities for analyzing and intervening in advanced
capitalist societies by increasing and deepening popular
participation and support on the far Left. The chapters are framed
in terms of conceptualizing the capitalist present, organizing "the
people" and reimagining the radical Left. Together, in diverse ways
that draw upon both qualitative and quantitative approaches, the
authors evaluate the difficulties of augmentation across multiple
planes, from the tension between migrants and citizen workers, to
the uneasy relationship between sovereignty and class, to the
contradictions operating across international versus domestic
dynamics. How and why (if at all) should the radical Left reexamine
its understanding of political consciousness, identity, ideology,
and institutions, as they relate to Marxian analysis and various
threads of critical theory? The authors suggest new approaches for
understanding what the radical Left is up against and how
problematic barriers might be torn down, thus disrupting unhelpful
binaries such as state versus capital, national versus
international, worker versus migrant, activist versus candidate,
and freedom versus necessity. This book was originally published as
a special issue of the online journal Global Discourse.
