On June 17, Canadian Marxist and author of Build it Now: Socialism for the 21st Century Michael Lebowitz, spoke in Toronoto at a public meeting entitled "Building it Now in Venezuela: Socialism for the 21st Century"
Venezuela under President Hugo Chavez has re-opened the discussion of political alternatives, in Latin America and beyond, in spectacular fashion.
Based in Caracas, Michael Lebowitz has been intensively involved in discussion of the government's political direction. His reflections from inside the Venezuelan revolution have been widely praised inside Venezuela -- including by President Chavez -- and across the spectrum of the Left.
Audio and Video from this very successful event in Toronto is available on the Socialist Project website here
There was a very good discussion about what is meant by "21st century socialism"; the theory of stages vs processes; the five motors of socialism; and much more.
