DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nDemocratic Socialism: An 
 Impossible Dream?\n   Is industrial civilization compatible with economic 
 democracy, or is democratic socialism impossible in a globalized industrial 
 society?  This presentation will examine the powerful material conditions 
 that have frustrated every effort to replace capitalism with genuine 
 democratic socialism.  Hopefully, this will become the starting point for 
 a discussion about what kinds of energy sources and technologies are most 
 conducive to democratic control. Strongly suggested background
