On the Political System Change of 2009-2011

According to the author, the new political system with neo-Horthyist features – after establishing its new constitution and surviving its first crisis during the winter of 2011/2012 – will be consolidated and will likely to stay, contrary to the hopes of its neoliberal critics. Of course corrections will be made to it, mostly as reactions to international pressure but the political system can only be replaced by the majority of voters. This cannot come before the new regime fails permanently in all segments of social life.




Beyond the Market

Retrial – with thorough economic analysis. The author is searching the fundament of socialism in radically rejecting relations of production based on wage labour and competitive market relations. From this point of view, any idea on market socialism can only be a dead end, contrary to democratic planning established by the political economy of the labour class. In addition to meeting basic needs, this should also provide healthy environment and promote "the absolute unfolding of man's creative abilities" -"an end-in-itself".
