apropos to nothing
Sep 5, 2003
Lotta these posts can be best answered by what o think is an engels quote that’s basically “it’s not our job to write recipes for the chefs of the future.” Basically it’s almost impossible to imagine a society that is run free of capitalist markets while living in a society that is materially defined by them. We need to have a vision of the future but whatever changes we make to improve society and alter how we reproduce it, they’ll ultimately have to be changed and modified later too. That’s just dialectics.

What’s more important imo is how do we change society to put power on the hands of the working class. At this moment there is no mass socialist or workers party that can serve as a mass pole of attraction for socialists and socialist ideas. That’s really the primary goal of socialists right here and now is to build such a party, made up of unions, grassroots organizations, etc which unified elections with protests and strikes. Until we have a means to actually fight for power effectively and even win it it’s kind of fruitless to imagine what society will look like after the final and complete victory of socialist ideas imo.
