Andrei Znamenski argues that socialism arose out of activities of
secularized apocalyptic sects, the Enlightenment tradition, and
dislocations produced by the Industrial Revolution. He examines
how, by the 1850s, Marx and Engels made the socialist creed
"scientific" by linking it to "history laws" and inventing the
proletariat-the "chosen people" that were to redeem the world from
oppression. Focusing on the fractions between social democracy and
communism, Znamenski explores why, historically, socialism became
associated with social engineering and centralized planning. He
explains the rise of the New Left in the 1960s and its role in
fostering the cultural left that came to privilege race and
identity over class. Exploring the global retreat of the left in
the 1980s-1990s and the "great neoliberalism scare," Znamenski also
analyzes the subsequent renaissance of socialism in wake of the
2007-2008 crisis.
