We could say that 1989 was the key year, but before, possibly with the first major enlargement of the EEC, socialism was only talked about in increasingly smaller circles, and only Gorbachev in Europe believed in any political form related to the collective ownership of the main means of production. Little by little, Nordic social democracy has been fading, and liberalism seems to be the only ideology capable of thinking about the economy of today's world, and creating a government. My perception is that socialism, as we have understood it until today, was an alternative to a world that no longer exists: the capitalism of the 19th century and the Imperialist era , which concluded in the long European civil war of 1914-1945 .
The socialist philosophy was associated with the conflicts of that capitalism, it inspired the end of colonialism, it tinged the post-war Europe with a social tone and it had a definitive outcome in 1989 which, however, had Phone Number Database already been decided long before. But if we continue inspired by materialism, we cannot help but think that such a drastic change in human thought must have a basis in the context of capitalism itself, since we all agree, and there has never been a greater consensus, that capitalism is still alive, that its reproduction repeats the social matrix and increases inequalities, that it expands rapidly and penetrates all social relations. Even without any shame, the dominant ideology accepts this reality and proclaims it as the only one that exists and has a future.
We can locate such a profound change, historically, in the triumph of the globalization processes that, since the beginning of capitalist civilization , had been taking place. Definitive triumph that was already announced in the seventies of the 20th century: “(Speaking of the United States of America), The power to intervene in events and control them depends on the context in which one lives. What is decisive for the rest of the century is that the context of the decision is no longer the national level, no matter how powerful a nation may seem” . Today, it is increasingly evident that the mutations suffered by capitalism since 1945 have made it practically immune to the action of the states.
