An examination of the prospects for socialism written shortly before the fall of the Soviet Union.
Abstract: Events in the Soviet bloc are moving with astonishing rapidity, and following them through the mainstream media is a frustrating task, because the media are so blatantly ideological in their approach, and simultaneously so ill-formed, that they are rarely able to produce analyses that actually make sense of what is happening. This volume is welcome because the essays it contains offer a much more in-depth look at the actual dynamics of "socialist" societies and parties. Several essays also look at the prospects of socialists in the West, admitting that "the Left is doing badly and faces formidable challenges", but also suggesting that things can be done broaden support for progressive social change. Articles in this volume include Gorbachev and the Dynamics of Change, War and Revolution in Nicaragua, and Social Movements and Class Politics in the United States.
