An Unbridgeable Chasm
Paperback
Publication Date: 20/03/1996
This work asks - and attempts to answer - several basic questions that attract Leftists today. Will anarchism remain a revolutionary social movement or become a chic boutique lifestyle subculture? Will its primary goals be the complete transformation of a hierarchical, class, and irrational society into a libertarian communist one? Or will it become an ideology focused on personal well-being, spiritual redemption, and self-realization within society? In an era of privatism, kicks, and postmodernist nihilism, the author examines the growing nihilistic trends that threaten to undermine the revolutionary tradition of anarchism and co-opt its fragments into a harmless personalistic, "yuppie" ideology of social accommodation that presents no threat to the existing powers-that-be. It should appeal to radicals in the "postmodern age" - socialists as well as anarchists, for whom the Left may seem in hopeless dissaray.
