Harry Cleaver debates Hillel Ticktin: on capitalism's present crisis... danger and opportunity
A debate organised by Radical Chains and London Notes in the 1990s
Are we now in a period of transition from capitalism to socialism? H. Ticktin’s concept of decline and transition
Capitalism must be overthrown before a transitional period can be initiated. There must be a total rupture with value production. In order for this to happen the working class must capture political power and set about consciously transforming social production relations. Ticktin’s conceptions seem like those other aficionados of a seamless transition to communism, who have long lost hope in the working class being the agent of revolution.
