Levica u Srbiji i svetu

America’s New Opposition

From Occupy Wall Street to Black Lives Matter, the left has been reborn. Can it find a way to harness the populist uprising that brought Trump to power?

Liberals tend to ignore this analysis, and to personalize racism and xenophobia as moral failings, because they think the necessary preconditions for a decent cosmopolitanism are already in place: markets and multiculturalism. Conservatives from Edmund Burke to Ross Douthat have argued almost the opposite. They posit that people are basically tribal, and therefore all forms of cosmopolitanism, from liberal humanitarianism to socialist solidarity, are utopian fantasies that will reliably fall apart in the harsh light of human nature.
The left presents an alternative view: We simply don’t know what kinds of solidarity people would be capable of if they felt control and security in their lives. Historically, xenophobia and racism have been inseparable from enslavement, imperialism, economic domination or competition, and fear of losing one’s place. At the same time, people have shown enormous flexibility and resilience when they encounter changing notions of national identity (a concept that hardly existed in present form a few centuries ago), religion (witness rising secularization and syncretism), and gender identity (where our notion of “human nature” is turning out to be full of new expressions). There is no reason to assume, as conservatives tend to conclude, that what we already know marks a natural limit of human behavior or potential.

Svetozar Markovic, koji preko Rusije donosi levicarske ideje u Srbiju. Zato zabrana srpskim studentima da idu da se skoluju u Rusiju osim na vojnim skolama, sto je bio slucaj sa princevima Djordjem i Aleksandrom. Pasic je bio ucenik Svetozara Markovica. To sto je kasnije postao lopov je druga prica.
Da ne sirim pricu.

Možda nisam bio precizan, ne odnosi se samo na "inteligenciju", nego i na partije tj kadar, i na disidente i na sve.

Ni ja se ne bih složio, samo sa tobom   Suviše je to bila protomaterija da bi se išta u srpskim uslovima deklarisalo kao levica, desnica ili centar u iole modernom značenju. Ili možda da budem precizniji, jeste Svetozar Marković bio levica, ali Peruna pitaj šta su bili radikali, naprednjaci, liberali onog vremena. Čak i danas, ako gledaš program, imaš situaciju da npr. Šešeljevi radikali baštine jedno 80-85% onoga što su komunisti želeli u brojnim sferama poput zdravstva, školstva i slično. Međutim, ja bih radije sudio po praksi. Radikali nisu levica. Čim su došli na vlast, pokazali su ko su i šta su.
