Book: Contemporary European Left Party Movement
By Suksam Park
March 24, 2022 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — Neoliberalism, which has been promoted for over 30 years, is an attack of the state and capital on labor and welfare. Precarious workers, youth unemployment, the climate crisis, and disaster capitalism symbolized by COVID-19, negate the legitimacy of this system.
Although leftists recognize and argue that capital is inflicting pain on countless people, the left remains marginalized and fragmented in most countries.
If capitalism is in crisis and the people’s suffering is severe, why is the left marginalized? What efforts have leftists made, and what should be done? This book started with these questions, leading to a discussion about the existence, situation, and strategies of the current left.
As the title suggests, this book analyses the contemporary European left in its various shapes and situations since the 1990s. The ultimate purpose of the book is the growth of left forces.
