sorry if it's uncool to post, but gotta ask Any reviews of his writings? You have archives going back seemingly to 6000 BCE.
This should probably be in the "General Discussion" as it might get lost here. As to Harrington, I'm sure we will have reviewed his books such ass The Other America and The Accidental Century but they've not be converted into electronic form to go on our Socialist Standard archives section here. The second, by the way, is included in one of our recommended reading lists, here:http://socialismoryourmoneyback.blogspot.co.uk/2011/01/better-read-than-red.htmlThere was an article in the July 1977 Socialist Standard critical of the reformist position he put in a debate that year with an open defender of capitalism. It exists somewhere in cyberspace but I'm still trying to track it down.
Good question, there were seemingly similar thinkers in the Labour Party going back decades. I'm thinking particularly in the 1960s and 1970s who wrote about the term. There may be something on them, but the full archive is not uploaded yet.
Found it for you, comrade, but cannot access it .http://invereskstreet.blogspot.com/2006/07/pages-from-party-press.htmlI can't find it on his other blog http://socialiststandardmyspace.blogspot.com/
Did come across this quote by Harrington" If there is a genuine continuing theme in Conservative history it is the defence of authority. In the Nineteenth Century, Conservatives stood for truncheons, gunboats, and the Church of England. The contemporary Conservative believes in truncheons and the authority of management in business.’ – Michael Harrington "
Thanks. I'm reading parts of "Socialism" 1973 I think. You guys r dolls. Hey sounds almost like the title of a musical Anyway thanks for your hunting and all your other help.
OK, I found the Harrington article via a zip file I downloaded from my old MySpace Socialist Standard page:http://socialiststandardmyspace.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-better-kind-of-capitalism.htmlI'm sure it will go on the Party website in the fullness of time.
But it was online. MySpace let me do.I'm going through the old files and finding a few other articles that were on the myspace blog but were lost when mypace decided to delete everyone's blogs. They'll be posted on the blog, and forwarded onto the Internet Committee for inclusion in the Standard archive.I've been busy last few weeks with getting old Standard articles online. See for yourself on the blog:http://socialiststandardmyspace.blogspot.com/

Incidentally, and with reference to the rather oddly titled thread on "women", the author of this article later went on, under her real name of Alison Assiter to become a leading feminist theorist:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison_Assiter
