This article published in the Monthly Review, March 2005, meaning this year, not a century ago:
“The only solution, as difficult as this may be to contemplate at the present time, is socialism; socialism, that is, as the socialist movement always meant it to be: revolutionary, democratic, egalitatarian, environmental, necessitating mass participation and mobilization. The difficulties in creating such a society are immense. But ‘immense,’ as Daniel Singer once said, ‘is not synonymous with impossible.’ If we want a stable, just, egalitarian, sustainable world in which the ‘free development of each is the condition for the free development of all’ there is no alternative but a long march to socialism propelled forward by a growing socialist movement. There are already signs of a new dawn—a spectrum that ranges from the antiglobalization movement to the brave revolutionary youth in the hills of Nepal. It is to this new arc of revolution that we must now dedicate ourselves and lend our support.”
