Today on Socialism Socialism Saturday, we’ll learn what socialists mean by “freedom” from a presentation last week from our favorite Socialist book publisher, Haymarket Books:
Freedom has a dual legacy. On the one hand, it stands for the great struggles long associated with the left, from abolition and anticolonialism to women’s and queer liberation. On the other hand, it has long been the watchword of an exclusionary right—playing a central role in the politics of neoliberalism and resurgent white nationalism. Rejecting this view of freedom as an exclusively right-wing concern, the latest issue of Boston Review, Reclaiming Freedom aims to reestablish freedom as a fundamental political value essential to any vision of a more just world.
