“ The ideological ramifications of the collapse of communism have been profound and wide-ranging, and, in many ways, continue to unfold. The ideology most clearly affected has been socialism. Revolutionary socialism, especially in its Soviet-style, Marxist–Leninist guise, was revealed as a spent force, both because of the economic failings of central planning and because of the system’s association with state authoritarianism. However, democratic socialism has also been affected; some argue that it has been fatally compromised. In particular, democratic socialists have lost faith in ‘top-down’ state control, and have come to accept the market as the only reliable means of generating wealth
Andrew Heywood, Political Ideologies (Third Edition, 2007)
Ed ancora non si parlava dei favolosi successi dell‘“unica alternativa possibile”/mercato cui stiamo assistendo :D (via libertaria)
Già, perché da allora lo stato si è finalmente fatto da parte. E’ sparito. Ha lasciato campo libero alla giungla del mercato senza regolazioni. L’intermediazione pubblica è scomparsa. Della pressione fiscale e del debito pubblico per spese improduttive non se ne è più parlato. (^_^)
