Abstract

This article was adapted from a talk delivered by Richard Levins on a panel with Rudolf Bahro, a leading theoretician of West Germany's Green Party and author of The Alternative in Eastern Europe. The two panelists were asked to address the key issues concerning the constituency, organizational forms, and programs of anti-capitalist movements – Bahro from the perspective of Europe, and Levins from the perspective of Latin America and his experience in the Puerto Rican Independence movement. Both speakers shared a view of socialism as involving new patterns of relations with nature, developing a gentle thought-intensive technology, and mobilizing the intelligence of the people. The event was organized by the New York Marxist School and took place on Sept. 23, 1983, at Washington Irving High School in New York City. This article was subsequently published in the School's Winter 1984 catalog.
