long live Murray Bookchin


On 30 July, comrade Murray Bookchin died of heart failure.
He was 85 years old and had dedicated his life to libertarian socialism.

Murray Bookchin's life and work span two historic eras: the era of traditional proletarian socialism and anarchism, with its working-class insurrections and struggles against classical fascism, and the postwar era of growing corporate capitalism, environmental decay, statist politics, and the technocratic mentality. He has tried to congeal these sweeping changes in society and consciousness into a coherent outlook that goes forward from a lived past into a liberated future.
Bookchin's writings & critiques were always relevant to the Left and continue to be relevant.
