Outline
Introductory remarks More than ever “Socialism or barbary” to-day. But a) pb. of language and content - taking in account past experience and failures, opacity of notions, updating past debates ;
b) strategical stakes - behind the notion of "transitional method" (or program) : how to fight within/against the capitalist world order ?
I- Back to “Socialism” and “communism” : what do we mean ? Lessons from the past and present struggles ; updating notions and debates.
II- What “transitional strategy” to-day ? At what level ? What fundamental demands ?
QUESTIONS FOR GROUPS
A) In the recent international context and that of your country (or regional environment), can the words "socialism", "communism" be used by anti-capitalist currents? Or what other words do you use to evoke a non-capitalist future?)
B) Give examples in your own country / region of concrete issues (private and /or public debt, health, care...- and behind them inequalities) before and/or since the Covid19, which could permit to raise "transitional demands" - with anti-capitalist, eco-socialist dynamics based on self-organisation, with social and political dimensions.
