This volume of Socialist Register considers trajectories of radical politics in various regions in the face of neoliberal austerity and capitalist crises. It examines the processes at work in the remaking of the socialist movement today, and what they entail for reviving the prospects for revolutionary transformations that would lead to the genuine democratization of state, economy, and society. These essays address: - The legacy of the Russian and Chinese revolutions - The salience of the concept of the revolutionary party - The question of agency - of working classes and other oppressed groups - The immense ecological challenge for revolutionary politics - The significance of Sanders and Corbyn for radical movements and parties - Experiences of left governments, from Venezuela and Bolivia to Greece - Revolutionary prospects, from Québec to South Africa - Revolutionary vision, including its artistic expression, in the 21st century Contributors: Pierre Beaudet | Patrick Bond | Robert Cavooris | Jodi Dean | Fabien Escalona | Sam Gindin | Andreas Malm | Walter Benn Michaels | August H.
