This book asks--and tries to answer--several basic questions that affect all Leftists today.
Includes the essay, The Left That Was..
Will Anarchism remain a revolutionary Social movement or become a chic boutique Lifestyle subculture? Will its primary goals be the complete transformation of a hierarchical, class, and irrational society into a libertarian communist one? Or will it become an ideology focused on personal well-being, spiritual redemption, and self-realization within the existing society? In an era of privatism, kicks, introversion, and post-modernist nihilism, Murray Bookchin forcefully examines the growing nihilistic trends that threaten to undermine the revolutionary tradition of Anarchism and co-opt its fragments into a harmless personalistic, yuppie ideology of Social accommodation that presents no threat to the existing powers that be.
