Two Souls of Socialism discussion. Chapters 1-6.

Join the Denton Socialists for a discussion over the pamphlet by Hal Draper, The Two Souls of Socialism. This is a work that outlines differences in socialist thinking about whether socialism can be imposed from “above” by a bureaucratic state or come from “below” by the working class’s self-emancipation?

We will be discussing chapters 1 through 6 this week and 7 through 12 next week.

The pamphlet can be found by following the link below:
