Is it possible to move from feudalism to socialism, bypassing the disasters of capitalism? This chapter focuses on the debate about socialism. It emphasises the presence of a pre-Marxist indigenous tradition of agrarian socialism, partly rooted in Slavophile thought and partly developing into anarchist socialism / communism. Marx’s exchange with Vera Zasulich over Russia’s possible evasion of capitalism contrasts with the formation of philosophical system of Marxism. In all of this, the contrast between philosophical (or scientific) and political agenda’s leads to an instructive dynamics. What various forms of socialism, communism and anarchism share is the emphasis on the necessity and inevitability of revolutionary change. |
