| Description: |
The first English language anthology of writings from the French libertarian socialist journal of the 1950s and early 1960s |
| Synopsis: |
Socialisme ou Barbarie was arguably one of the most important ultra-left organisations of the 20th Century. Rejecting the dominant Leninist paradigm, they set out to develop a new current in revolutionary theory that saw the direct democracy of workers' councils as the antidote to the failures of really-existing socialism. The group's journal became a hub of European radical thought - featuring writing from Cornelius Castoriadis, Guy Debord, Jean-Francois Lyotard and many others - and exerted a major influence on the American radical left which continues to be felt today.Presented here is the first comprehensive collection of Socialisme ou Barbarie's writings to appear in English. Containing essays and contributions reflecting the full breadth and depth of thought that animated the project, its subject matter touches on everything from the bureaucratization of European society to national liberation struggles in China and Algeria, and from the failure of statist socialisms to the vitality of proletarian experience.Now more than ever, the radical alternatives proposed by Socialisme ou Barbarie deserve a wide audience, and this book to makes that possible. |
