Although it has constantly mutated and evolved to adapt to changing political conjunctures, it has become dominant not just as an elite political project but as a new common sense, or doxa (Bourdieu [1990] 2012: 313). Consumerism and the adulation of wealth and entrepreneurialism have become so firmly anchored in the popular common sense that it is hard to imagine any alternative. Neoliberalism has successfully promoted corporate and private interests over the collective via processes of deregulation, privatisation and marketisation, shifting power back to the already rich and powerful, whilst shoring up the legitimacy of its project by demonising and disciplining those who refuse to internalise the neoliberal ideal of the entrepreneurial, independent consumer. Stuart Hall, following Gramsci, reminds us that hegemony is never complete or permanent – the hegemonic project of neoliberalism must be constantly “renewed and revised” – so, although neoliberalism itself is in crisis, the hegemonic project of neoliberalism is ongoing (Hall 2011). There are nonetheless signs that the neoliberal hegemony established in the 1980s is currently facing similar challenges to those faced by social democracy forty years ago, notably regarding the current form of the British state, economic management, access to citizenship, the changing global order and political representation (as highlighted by Gamble 1994). Taken together, this article argues that Britain’s current economic and political crises can be seen to constitute a conjunctural crisis whereby consent for the current hegemony has become tenuous (Jefferson 2014). It then moves on to discussing the possible responses to that crisis. Successive governments from Thatcher to Johnson respond to crisis by resorting to authoritarian populism to build up hegemony (Hall et al. 1978), further reinforcing Socialism and Democracy, 2021 Vol. 35, Nos. 2–3, 73–96, https://doi.org/10.1080/08854300.2021.2044239","PeriodicalId":40061,"journal":{"name":"Socialism and Democracy","volume":"3 1","pages":"73 - 96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78615823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reasons to abolish capitalism multiply daily, while Reason is treated as if it were a devious plot. How did we arrive at this juncture and what tools do we have to both apprehend reality and organize collectively to change it? Since the late 1970s, as the last waves of revolution receded, poststructuralism, postmodernism, and identity-based radicalism positioned themselves not only as the best means by which to challenge authority and bring about change, but more specifically, to criticize Marx and Engels and the presumed failures of the revolutions of the last century. It is no accident that philosophy, science and rational thought have also been targeted since they were the very means these revolutions employed to achieve their ends. Meanwhile, the capitalist juggernaut advances unimpeded by such critical theory, indeed capitalism appears to thrive on it. The resulting confusion nonetheless provides an opportunity to re-examine fundamental premises and definitions. I asked Helena Sheehan for this interview because her formal training in philosophy combines with her years of active political engagement to offer a perspective from which to assess our current dilemmas. Mat Callahan: Often, today, I hear philosophy used as if it was the same as “opinion”. Everyone has their own philosophy and can mean by that whatever they wish. At the same time, science is often said to have made philosophy obsolete or has taken over its function as a method for apprehending reality. What then is the philosophy of science? Helena Sheehan: Different people, including different philosophers, define philosophy in different ways. I use it to mean world view, a set of underlying beliefs about the world centred on the core questions of the centuries, such as: the question of whether phenomena can be explained in terms of natural forces alone or whether appeal to supernatural forces can be justified (typically the question of belief in the existence of God) or the question of whether phenomena are interconnected in a web of causality or events are disconnected and Socialism and Democracy, 2021 Vol. 35, Nos. 2–3, 38–48, https://doi.org/10.1080/08854300.2021.2110522","PeriodicalId":40061,"journal":{"name":"Socialism and Democracy","volume":"15 1","pages":"38 - 48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78444302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All of this, of course, places Benjamin squarely within the tradition of Western Marxism as defined by Perry Anderson, with its distance from actual politics, a fact Jameson acknowledges. Whether we find this form of cultural analysis to be satisfactory “depends very much on the historical value one attaches to culture and on the way in which superstructures are seen as an active part of the mode of production” (30–31). Jameson’s method suggests another response: even the most seemingly abstract theorizing can find its politics when properly historicized. One of Benjamin’s most important concepts is the dialectical image – the process by which a moment from the past is blasted out of the ideological continuity of history due to its relation to our own time – which helps us see how Benjamin’s moment, with its struggle over the fate of the masses, resonates with our own of competing right and left populisms. If we agree with Jameson that “socialism... is a theory and a politics of the productive uses of the ever-heightening power of the forces of production,” then we can see Benjamin’s work – and ultimately Jameson’s own – as an analogous effort to seize the forces of cultural production for a future that is in no way guaranteed (206).","PeriodicalId":40061,"journal":{"name":"Socialism and Democracy","volume":"18 1","pages":"426 - 430"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75889281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
