What is sometimes called the left today is a largely reformist, even reactionary political grouping that seeks to make capitalism work better, or a somewhat more benign form of neoliberalism. Even the traditional social democratic parties are today at best social liberal parties. What are often characterized as “left parties” are actually capitalist parties, primarily serving those interests. Social democratic parties often present themselves as able to promote the interests of capitalism, while securing the cooperation of labor. When in power, it is the interests of capital that take precedence. There are complex reasons for this, including class formations, ideological hegemony, structures of economic and political power. There is also the rejection of any attempt at counter-hegemony and revolutionary . - The #specter of #marxism - #john #bellamy #foster https://gnusocial.no/url/898724
