Neoliberalism, Immiseration Capitalism, and The Historical Urgency of a Socialist Education

Abstract

Abstract The concept of “Immiseration Capitalism” indicates a systematic tendency of Capital to heap the “accumulation of misery” on the lives of the producing class alongside enriching the appropriating class. Neoliberalism is a specific political project within the history of class struggle that has reasserted the dominance of Capital over Labor, bringing concrete possibilities and a historical urgency to transcend capitalist social relations. Socialist education has a significant revolutionary role to play in this urgency.
