The Politics of American Revolutionary Socialism (Intro. part 1)

1 year ago

In this initial video I introduce the discussion on the politics of the International Socialist Organization (1977-2019) contextualized by understanding the "Sovietology Spectrum" (attempts to answer the question: What was the nature of the USSR?)

OBS ! When I refer to Swedish Social Democrats as "Blairite", I mean that in the 1990's the Swedish Social Democrats adopted the same "centrist" ex-socialist politics as Tony Blair. Although in Sweden, the Social Democrats call these policies of capitulation by the moniker of "modernization"
