Rethinking Socialism
Author: Gavin KitchingPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000706559
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
First published in 1983. Socialism was generally unpopular in Britain in the 1980s. The Left needed new ideas and fresh approaches if it was ever to escape its isolation from the mainstream of political and cultural life. Rethinking Socialism brought such a perspective to socialist thought and practice in Britain. Gavin Kitching contended that the unpopularity of the Left was not due primarily to the pernicious influence of the press and media, as many socialists argued, but reflected fundamental changes in the British social structure and, above all, the simple incredibility and irrelevance of many socialist beliefs and policies. He also claims that socialism will continue to be unpopular so long as it is divorced from the values and concerns of the majority of British people. Kitching shows how basic and obvious facts about Britain, and other advanced capitalist countries, were ignored or wished away, and how crucial lessons of the Soviet and East European experience had not been learnt. He argues that radical politics in Britain both reflected and reinforced a ‘ghetto’ mentality bred by the Left’s political and intellectual isolation. The book is more than just a critique, however; it presented as well a more relevant and popular alternative strategy for the Left. This focused on extending and deepening political and economic democracy, and aimed to preserve the benefits which people had derived from capitalism and parliamentary democracy while extending them and thus transforming the system that conferred them.

APPENDIX HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE SOCIALIST MOVEMENT Early History Some writers on the subject include in the history of the socialist movement all ancient and mediaeval manifestations of communistic thought and institutions. But as a matter of fact the modern socialist movement has nothing in common with the utopias of Plato, Campanella and More, or with the prehistoric tribal institutions, early Christian practices or the various sectarian communities of the Middle Ages. The political socialist movement of our day is primarily a movement of the working class, and has for its object the reconstruction of the present-day system of industry on the basis of collective ownership of the tools of production. The movement thus presupposes the existence of a competitive individualist system of industry and of a wageearning class. In other words, modern socialism is unthinkable without its antithesis -- capitalism. Socialism is the child of the modern or "capitalist" system of production. And more than that, it is the product of that system at a certain advanced stage. The socialist movement is a protest against the present industrial system, hence it presupposes a state of development of that system to a point where it has become oppressive; it involves a criticism of the system, hence it implies a dissatisfaction with it; and finally, it offers a substitute for the present system, hence it is predicated on the assumption of a state of decline of the capitalist regime. Thus while the beginnings of the present industrial system may be traced back to the fifteenth or sixteenth century of our era, the modern socialist movement is barely more than a century old. Socialism, like most other social theories and movements, has passed through several...
