"Towards a New Socialism" (Gorter)

"Towards a New Socialism" by Anton Pannekoek and others argues for a form of socialism that prioritizes participatory democracy and workers' self-management over traditional state control. It emphasizes the importance of direct involvement from the working class in decision-making processes to create a more equitable and just society. This approach critiques bureaucratic socialism, advocating instead for decentralized, grassroots organization and cooperation among communities. The authors believe that a new form of socialism is needed to address social inequalities and empower individuals, focusing on collaboration rather than top-down authority.
