Title Liberalism, Marxism and the Class Character of Radical Democratic Change
 
Creator Smardon, Bruce
 
Subject

 
Description With the reexamination of socialism that has occurred as a result of the crisis of working class politics and the implosion of the Eastern Bloc in the 1980s, there has also been a reexamination on the Left of the role and importance of liberalism in the development of new democratic forms. This reassessment has occurred in a context of great concern with the politics of language and discourse as well as with the need to recognize the plurality of democratic struggles. One major current of thought that has grown out of these different concerns is that associated with the notion of "radical democracy." In this approach, liberal democracy and liberal democratic discourse are seen as the starting point for radical democratic institutions that greatly increase the rights and freedoms of various oppressed groups.
