>>> Rakesh Bhandari writes
The kind of post capitalist future we may well be able to achieve is not anticipated in any of these experiments. If humanity has any hope, it is in the development of anti bolshevik communism (see Richard Gombin, The Radical Tradition; Michel Beaud's Socialism in the Crucible of History; Maximillen Rubel Non Market Socialism), a world without wage labor, the state and money. _____________
Charles: Rakesh, would you give a brief,summary statement of anti-bolshevik communism ? How do wage labor, the state and money disappear ? ____
My feeling is that Marxism confronts a formidable intellectual challenge in neo Ricardian theory as developed by Pasinetti (more important than Sraffa, it seems) and in the post Keynesian reformist agenda which follows from it in the writings of the brilliant duo of James Galbraith and William Darity, Jr or Thomas Palley (these left-liberal thinkers give substance to what nine out of ten *Nation* readers think needs to be done). ___________
Charles: Again, what are the essential elements of this formidable inetellectual challenge ?
What is the political program of Gailbraith, Darity and Palley , Pasinetti. ?
