Praise of 20th century Communism: A Forum to discuss it… and reclaim it!
[Rete dei Comunisti] Was 20th century socialism and the international communist movement a failure or just a defeat? In the light of the overall regression and the war that the capitalist mode of production is once again unleashing on humanity, can the instances of emancipation and civilisation represented by the socialist experiences of the last century once again represent an antidote and an alternative? This and this is what we intend to discuss in a forum that we as Rete dei Comunisti are working on for next autumn and to which we ask you to contribute. We have lived through these three decades with the incompleteness of a reflection – often more removed than begun – on twentieth-century communism, but as Rete dei Comunisti we have never lost sight of it.
