THIS ARTICLE ARGUES, AGAINST THE POPULAR VIEW, THAT SOCIALIST FORCES IN SOUTH AFRICA ARE WEAK. IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE SOCIALIST STRATEGY OR A "SOCIALIST IDEA" THAT REPRESENTS AN ALTERNATIVE TO CAPITALIST LOGIC, SOCIALISM IS NOT ON THE AGENDA. INSTEAD OF THE SOCIALIST IMPERATIVE ASSOCIATED WITH THE IDEA THAT "THERE IS NO MIDDLE WAY", THE WATCHWORD IN SOUTH AFRICA IS EFFECTIVELY THAT "THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE" TO CAPITALISM.

Con el fin de determinar cómo se desarrolló el proceso político estatal del partido y movimiento social boliviano MAS-IPSP (Movimiento al Socialismo-Instrumento por la Soberania de los Pueblos), se investigó si en su periodo de gobierno se aplicaron políticas para encaminarse a una transformación radical de las estructuras socioeconómicas con una orientación socialista comunitaria, o si en verdad actuó en su gobierno como un partido estabilizador de la reproducción social y política del capitalismo. Mediante una revisión del contexto histórico del ascenso del MAS-IPSP al poder, el análisis del programa de gobierno que este partido propuso a la sociedad, el análisis con base en datos estadísticos (principalmente del periodo 2006-2016), de la estructura del ingreso y gasto estatal, así como de la evolución de la situación macroeconómica y socioeconómica en el país, y por último, de la evolución de la hegemonía política y electoral del movimiento; se concluyó que el MAS-IPSP actuó como un partido estabilizador de la reproducción social y política del capitalismo dependiente, después de la crisis del modelo neoliberal que se desató a comienzos de siglo XXI en el país. Este carácter estabilizador estuvo acompañado de una estrategia de capitalismo comandado por el Estado. Potencializando la escala nacional del capital, mejorando condiciones de producción y reproducción social en el país, logrando reducir algunos de los efectos sociales más nocivos de la reproducción capitalista dependiente. (texto tomado de la fuente) ; In order to determine how the state political process of the Bolivian party and social movement MAS-IPSP (Movimiento al Socialismo-Instrumento por la Soberanía de los Pueblos) was developed, it was investigated whether in its period of government applied policies to move towards a radical transformation of socio-economic structures with a community socialist orientation, or indeed acted in its government as a stabilizing party of the social and political reproduction of capitalism.

An analysis of the 2004 presidential race between Senator John Kerry & incumbent George W. Bush contends that Kerry represents the "degeneration of the Democratic Party" that has prevented development of a truly "left" political party. There is a critical need to create an independent progressive party to prevent the general political climate from continuing to move toward "extreme varieties of reaction & even neofascism." The impact of the fear of selecting an "unelectable" candidate is discussed, along with how the Democratic Party's new conservatism has helped to make the US the world's most "politically monolithic & crudely procapitalist" industrial democracy. The conservative record of President Bill Clinton is traced, & similarities between the foreign policy directions of Kerry & incumbent Bush are pointed out, contending that global US hegemony is the primary goal of both neoconservatives & the New Democrats. Other issues explored include the nature & impact of the Nader campaign; the dangerous logic of "Anyone but Bush" thinking; & future prospects for those not willing to give up on radical politics. J. Lindroth

After the Communist Party came to power in 1949, capitalists disappeared from China's political and economic landscape. As the government launched economic reforms, however, a new generation of capitalists emerged as an economic and social group of considerable influence. Keming Yang examines some crucial aspects of this group's political life: their self image, and their political image; associations; treatment of their employees; relationships with government officials. Exploring the implications of China's political development, Yang considers the notion of 'elite corporatism', and why democracy remains so distant in China's political system. Since 1949, Chinese capitalists have experienced some dramatic shifts in their political and economic life. Keming Yang examines what such changes tell us about China's current political situation and future political development, making use of both historical and current interdisciplinary evidence.

Waking from the Dream explains how the Mexican middle classes transformed their country after 1968, as the once-touted economic "Miracle" was replaced by new ideas of capitalism and the once-powerful Party of the Institutional Revolution was swept away by electoral democracy.

Once widely regarded as the workers greatest hope for a better world, the ALP today would rather project itself as a responsible manager of Australian capitalism. Labor's Conflict provides an insightful account of the transformations in the Party's policies, performance and structures since its formation. Seasoned political analysts, Tom Bramble and Rick Kuhn offer an incisive appraisal of the Party's successes and failures, betrayals and electoral triumphs in terms of its competing ties with bosses and workers. The early chapters outline diverse approaches to understanding the nature of the Party and then assess the ALP's evolution in response to major social upheavals and events, from the strikes of the 1890s, through two World Wars, the Great Depression, and the post-war boom. The records of the Whitlam, Hawke, Keating, Rudd and Gillard governments are then dissected in detail. The compelling conclusion offers alternatives to the Australian Labor Party, for those interested in progressive change

"Raising the Red Flag explores the origins of the British Marxist movement from the creation of the Social Democratic Federation to the foundation of the Communist Party. It tells a story of rising class struggle, the founding of the Labour Party, the fight against World War One, the Russian Revolution, and the explosive year of 1919. The book also uses new archival sources to re-examine Marxist organisations such as the British Socialist Party, the Socialist Labour Party, and Sylvia Parkhurst's Workers' Socialist Federation. Above all, this is the story of men and women who fought to liberate the working class from capitalism through socialist revolution"--
