The Future Of Socialism And The Left Movement / Manning Marable and Eric Mann| produced by John Martinez. - Manning Marable and Eric Mann talk about changes and developments in the socialist movement since the end of the Cold War. Mann begins by discussing the role of government oversight in protecting the public, lack of an independent mass media. Next, Marable discusses the changes among the working class since the Berlin Wall came down, with liberals becoming conservatives. The real victors in the Cold War, Marable continues, were Germany and Japan, for military spending did not overpower social programs. Next is an examination of the Clinton Presidency, the Ranbow Coalition, and the continuing class struggle. Mann returns with an analysis of the failure of socialism. The success of capitalism means the despair of humans, with the world middle class adopting capitalistic values. - RECORDED: Los Angeles, July 1993. BROADCAST: KPFK, 29 Nov. 1993.
