Socialism in the Neoliberal Age: Debates and Arguments

Abstract

The neoliberal period consists of the application of a series of restructuring policies, including rapid change of economy, politics, culture, and social environment. Socialist movements are at the forefront of the opposition to neoliberal policies, which have been applied in many countries after 1980 and almost all over the world in the 2000s. Marxism was marginalized and in crisis in this period on the counter of neoliberalism. Intra-Marxist discussions also led to the emergence of new arguments and different interpretations. This study will try to create a theoretical framework about which issues stand out and the orientation of socialism through focusing on intra-Marxist discussions. The approaches and distinctions of reductionism and class analysis among theoretical debates will be emphasized, and how these fundamental issues were discussed by Marxists in the neoliberal period will be examined. Another important issue is the different Marxist interpretations that have been formed as a result of new argu-ments. In this regard, what the issues that constitute the agenda of trends such as the new left and the radical left are and in what context they will be discussed will be examined.
