Socialism and survival : (articles, essays, and talks, 1979-1982) / Rudolf Bahro ; introduced by E.P. Thompson.

"When the threats of nuclear war and eco-catastrophe put human existence in question, there is no time for traditional dogmas. Rudolf Bahro writes as a socialist who finds his humanist values embodied today in the ecology and peace movements. These have the potential to grow together into an overall 'movement for conversion in the metropolises' in which all forces of emancipation will find a place. In today's extreme situation, Bahro looks to a mobilisation of human energies of the kind generally associated with religion more than politics. Socialism and Survival will raise many socialist hackles, but it offers help and encouragement to the growing number who share Bahro's own priorities."-- From back cover.
