Marxist sociology blog post on the communitarian revolutionary subject

The American Sociological Association published a short article by David Barkin and me that synthesizes our recent article in Monthly Review on David's concept of the communitarian revolutionary subject. In our age of profound social-ecological crises, the communitarian revolutionary subject is already proceeding to develop radically new social-ecological metabolic configurations. From my perspective, the key challenge here remains moving from individual projects to the sort of mass movement needed to bring about systemic transformation. Otherwise, I fear the radical alternatives being pursued by the revolutionary communitarian subject may be isolated or crushed by the combined forces of capital and the state. The post can be found on the Marxist sociology blog. The original article that David and I wrote for Monthly Review is also publicly avccessible on the MR website.
