Anti-capitalist activism has taken a wrong direction and social and political theoretical theorists have failed to realise this. The trend for building, what has become called, ‘Alternative Societies’, spaces such as mutual aid groups and workers’ co-operatives, failed to grasp the true power of the capitalist totality. Drawing on the work of the early Frankfurt School, this book argues that such anti-capitalist strategies are deeply mistaken and must be urgently reconsidered.
Neal Harris is Associate Professor in Sociology and Politics at Oxford Brookes University, Oxford.
