Socialism for the twenty-first century and the need for socialist globalization

Pages 249-256 | Published online: 24 Nov 2011
 

Abstract

For a sustained challenge to capital, working people need a clear vision of a socialist alternative based upon the centrality of human development. The concept of socialism for the twenty-first century, with its focus upon socialism as an organic system, a socialist triangle of (a) social ownership of the means of production, (b) social production organized by workers for (c) social needs and purposes, offers such a vision and points to the need to struggle to develop all three sides of the socialist triangle. But what does this mean internationally, given the vast inequality and differential access to our common social heritage? The paper stresses the necessity to develop a concept of socialist globalization to challenge capitalist globalization.
