For a line of reasoning which I endorse in general, he doesn't think it's too likely, compared to neo-feudalism. I agree with his analysis of what happened, but not with his pessimism for socialism in the furure; it doesn't have to have just hitech-industrial society to be workable. Richard Wolff points out - rightly - that there have been and are many different forms of socialism - and btw, they're not synonymous with communism. Iranian journalist working in France Ramin Mazaheri, for example, insists that Iran is an example of islamic socialism, offering chapter and verse in his essays at Saker. Here's Jim's commentary (reconstruct the idiotbowdlerised 'clusterfeck' in the address - using the traditional spelling - to get there): http://kunstler.com/cluster####-nation/mistaken-futures/#more-10116' |
