The paper explores the possibility of creating a positive vision of post capitalist society and economy, a blue-print for future society with
reminiscence to the existing valuable drafts such as Marx and Engels’s
Communist Manifesto. Also, it focuses on shortcomings of that blue-print
that became evident through the experiences of 20th-century real
socialisms. Following Canadian Marxist Michael Lebowitz, the paper
elaborates on how the vision of socialism for the 21st century should
place central emphasis on the importance of changing the social relations
of production. The central problem is located in the “vanguard relations
of production”, the central power and hierarchical authority in the hand
of the party vanguard. The paper stresses the importance of the communist
party as central to the articulation of the interests of the proletarian class
as a whole, a class whose central interest is the overthrow of capitalism.
However, the project of overthrowing cap...italism must include the
recognition of the practical comprehension of the importance of the
democratic protagonism. Workers cannot be subordinated as passive
observers of the system change. A change in social circumstances should
simultaneously mean a change in the actors themselves – the socialist
protagonists.
Rad ispituje mogućnosti stvaranja pozitivne vizije post-kapitalističkog društva i ekonomije,
nacrt budućeg društva uz evociranje vrednih nacrta kao što je Komunistički manifest Marksa
i Engelsa. Također se fokusira na nedostatke tog nacrta koji su postali očiti usled realsocijalističkih iskustava dvadesetog veka. Sledeći kanadskog marksistu Majkla Lebovica, rad obrazlaže kako bi vizija socijalizma za 21. vek trebala staviti snažan naglasak na važnost društvene
promene proizvodnih odnosa. Središnji problem je lociran u „avangardnim proizvodnim odnosima“, centralnoj moći i hijerarhijskom autoritetu u rukama partijske avangarde. Rad naglašava važnost komunističke partije kao ključne u artikulaciji interesa proleterske klase u
celini, klase čiji je glavni interes svrgavanje kapitalizma. Međutim, projekat svrgavanja kapitalizma mora uključiti delatnu spoznaju važnosti demokratskog protagonizma. Radnici ne
mogu biti podređeni kao pasivni promatrači sistemske promene. Promena društv...enih odnosa
mora simultano značiti i promenu samih aktera – društvenih protagonista.
