Marxist group


"Down with capitalism" is a list for Marxists, socialists, communists, and other political persuasions. The focus of discussion should be on the future rather than on the past. In other words, "What is to be Done?" or how can socialism be implemented?

All points of view are welcomed. We will *not* get into snits about whether someone is a Stalinist, Trot, Maoist or whatever. We will feel free to question their ideas and ask them to justify them.

To start, we might look at the question of whether socialism, democracy and liberty can co-exist. If so, how can the impression on the part of many workers that they cannot, be changed?

Ideas? Comments?

This list is not meant to be a repository for cross-posting and notice pasting. While you are free to import material, it should be limited and should be for the purpose of furthering a point you are making. In general, I would say that one paragraph of imported stuff should be supported by a paragraph of your own commentary and discussion. That's not a hard and fast rule, just a guideline. You are free to post url's to the full text of whatever you are addressing. If you post a url, a brief, 1-2 sentence, description of what it is can be very helpful.

People who violate the rule on spamming will be placed on moderated status. They will be removed from moderated status whenever they agree to abide by the guidelines.
