Murray Bookchin 1921-2006

Sad to read of the news of the death of the anarchist/social ecologist, Murray Bookchin, at the age of 85.

Posted on the blog of the unofficial Socialist Standard MySpace page are the following three articles/reviews on Bookchin and his political thought that appeared in the Socialist Standard down the years:

  • Socialism and Ecology
  • Anarchism, Marxism and the Future of the Left by Murray Bookchin
  • Reflections on Elections
  • There is also an obituary for Bookchin on the Anarkismo website here.

    There were obvious political differences between Bookchin and the political tradition of the Socialist Standard and the Socialist Party, and the aforementioned articles and reviews pulls no punches in detailing those differences, but for all that there is no denying the impact of Bookchin's books on revolutionary politics.
