"Against Equality, from Left and Right" - A Talk by Alberto

Postby education01 » Wed Feb 01, 2012 2:09 pm

 

This talk will survey conservative arguments against social levelling, from Edmund Burke onwards, alongside and in contrast to communist critiques of equality (above all Marx's Critique of the Gotha Programme and Lenin's State and Revolution) which link our customary conceptions of equality and redistribution to bourgeois conceptions of rights and capitalist forms of value. The aim will be to try and think through what is at stake in contemporary movements for social justice beyond demands for rights and redistribution.

Alberto Toscano is a professor of Sociology at Goldsmith's in England. His most recent book is: Fanaticism - On the Uses of an Idea.  A recent interview with him discussing the book can be found here, an interview with him in the Guardian is here, and a video of a talk here.

For a presentation on precisely how and why we can and should redistribute wealth (actually property) in a manner that does not run up against the problems raised by Burke, Marx or Lenin, see the Path to Prosperity for US All (p2p4USA) presentation at the weekly College of Complexes in Chicago (4008 N. Lincoln Ave), Illinois at 8pm on February 25th. The talk is entitled ‘Time to Redistribute the Wealth and Reclaim Our Unalienable Rights’.
