Description

Socialists are at a crossroads, facing the return of Donald Trump to the presidency of the American empire, concerned by planetary warming if previous commitments to phase out fossil fuels are dashed, and seeing neoliberalism’s inability to provide a humane framework for macroeconomic stability, ideological legitimacy or global political order. What can the left carry forward from recent strategies, tactics and organizations that, not so long ago, seemed so promising? Is the left starting over, or moving on?

Greg Albo teaches political economy at the Department of Political Science, York University, Toronto. He is currently co-editor of the Socialist Register. He is also on the editorial boards of Studies in Political Economy, Relay, Capitalism, Nature, Socialism, Canadian Dimension, The Bullet and Historical Materialism (England). Co-editor of A Different Kind of State: Popular Power and Democratic Administration and author of numerous articles in journals such as Studies in Political Economy, Socialist Register, Canadian Dimension, and Monthly Review.

Stephen Maher is a social critic, PhD candidate at York and Socialist Register assistant editor.
