What does socialism mean in the 2000st century? An ecofeminist consideration.
Welcome to listen to Professor Nancy Fraser's lecture “What does socialism mean in the 2000st century? An ecofeminist consideration ”.
Is socialism back in the United States? For decades, the word was considered awkward and embarrassing. Today, American politicians such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez call themselves socialists and receive great voter support.
What can socialism mean today? This lecture provides a possible answer. Nancy Fraser broadens the analysis of what the prevailing view of socialism is, but also what it should be. She believes that socialism must have greater ambitions than just transforming the economy. By exposing the contradictory and destructive relationship of capitalist economy to its "non-economic" basic conditions, Fraser argues that socialism must break and transform the inhuman nature of the economy and the gender norms it reproduces. In other words, the socialism of the 2000st century should be ecofeminist.
