Lovers and political movements
From Political Affairs, an article on the new struggle for socialism, and an essay on theory and practice of class struggle in a socialist market economy. From Politics and Culture, a review of Henryk Grossman and the Recovery of Marxism by Rick Kuhn; a review of Learning from the Left: Children’s Literature, the Cold War, and Radical Politics in the United States by Julia L. Mickenberg; and lovers and political movements: A review of Communism: A Love Story by Jeff Sparrow. From Dissent, a review of Freedom’s Power: The True Force of Liberalism by Paul Starr. More on The Conscience of a Liberal by Paul Krugman. A review of Living Blue in the Red States by David Starkey. More on Michael Gerson's Heroic Conservatism. The preface to Roger Scruton's Culture Counts: Faith and Feeling in a World Besieged. From 10 Zen Monkeys, RU Sirius proposes a Liberal/Libertarian/Other unity party that will develop ideas and solutions to America's political problems through an Open Source process that will be engaging and fun; and it is time for all those who oppose authoritarian governance and culture to join together in a coalition — it is time for QuestionAuthority.
