Making Capitalism Fit for Society
- Share to:
European social democracy needs to be shaken out of the defensive posture to which it has shrunk for several years now. It should not be in this position at all. Inequality is again becoming a major issue; the power of large corporations is producing a growing number of problems for consumers, workers and citizens; the neglect of collective needs is producing frightening problems of environmental damage. These are all areas where social democracy has strong positions, and where neoliberal capitalism is at its most vulnerable. We need to understand the paradox whereby, despite this, social democrats in most countries seem depressed, while neoliberals are triumphant; and to explore the changes that social democratic politics needs if it is to move out of defensiveness and reassert itself – alongside environmental and other cause groups – in a new alliance, more integrated than in mere red–green electoral coalitions.
Strictly speaking, the opposite of defensive is offensive; but to talk of an ‘offensive social democracy’ could well be misunderstood. The same would apply to ‘aggressive’. However, feminists have told us that, where men are aggressive, women are assertive.
