Anti-Capitalist Britain is a collection of accessible and
informative essays on the emerging anti-capitalist movement in
the UK.Through accounts of recent anti-capitalist protests and
organizations, often by those involved, the book considers the
current state of radical politics in the UK. Its underlying theme is
the emerging relationship between Marxist and other radical
organizations and the disparate anti-globalization, anti-capitalist
and direct action groups fronting campaigns against institutions
such as the World Trade Organization and the G8.The study
argues that there has been a shift towards anarchism on the
British left and elsewhere.While it has a primarily domestic focus,
the book also considers British anti-capitalism in an international
context. It therefore includes contributions from authors whose
focus is beyond the domestic and who participate in wider
campaigns.

EDITED BY

DAVE MORLAND
Anti-Capitalist Britain is an account of the
state of left and radical politics in the UK, delivered
through a study of recent anti-capitalist protests
and movements.The book is a collaborative project
involving writers from various universities in the
UK and recent participants in anti-capitalist actions.
The introduction examines the origins of the current
protest movement and its re-emergence from the
‘Victory of the West’ and the free market. Caroline
Lucas and Colin Hines then critique the dominant
neoliberal version of globalization from a green and
localist perspective.This analysis is complemented by
the work of Molly Scott Cato, who explores positive
and sustainable alternatives to capitalism and the free
market.Amir Saeed also takes the new geopolitics as
his starting point, examining the difficulties created
for Asian Britons after 9/11 and the subsequent
‘War on Terror’.
Other contributors consider the different forms
of protest and activism in current anti-capitalist and
green politics. John Carter and Dave Morland’s
overview of the UK anti-capitalist scene detects an
emerging shift towards a more libertarian mode of
struggle. One source of this is set out in Derek
Wall’s account of the Russian theorist Mikhail
Bakhtin, whose theories loom large in the ongoing
Carnival against Capitalism. Jon Purkis focuses on
the role of anticonsumerist campaigns, finding
echoes of radical movements from the English Civil
War period. Paul Taylor examines the creative ways
in which electronic ‘hacktivists’ have undermined
corporations and the powerful. How all this
diversity and seeming fragmentation produces a
functioning ‘movement’ is the concern of Alex Plows,
who explores the way in which groupings,
communities and individuals have supported each
other through fluid activist networks.The book
concludes with a vibrant account of the Anti-G8
mobilization in Genoa, written by one of the
participants.

David Stack is a lecturer in Modern British
History at the University of Reading. He has
previously taught at Queen Mary, University
of London and Keele University, and has
written widely on both the history of the
left and popular science in the nineteenth
century. His first book, Nature and Artifice:
The life and thought of Thomas Hodgskin,
1787–1869, was published by the Royal
Historical Society in 1998 and he is currently
writing a biography of the nineteenth-century
Scottish phrenologist George Combe.
Darwinism and socialism were the two most exciting ideas
of the late nineteenth century. One tore down a model of
nature that was static and unchanging; the other sought to do
the same for society.Almost inevitably the ideas of Darwinism
and socialism became intertwined in the period from 1859 to
1914.The modern socialist movement was a product of the
Darwinian age and most leading socialists of the period had
studied and accepted Darwinism before reaching their political
maturity.This was true of socialists both in Britain and
beyond – including Annie Besant, Ramsay MacDonald, Eduard
Bernstein, Karl Kautsky, Jack London and Prince Peter
Kropotkin. Each inevitably carried something of their
Darwinism over into their understanding of socialism. In this
study of the relationship between the two ideas, David Stack
argues that the contribution of Darwinism to the thought of
the British left has been underestimated. Darwinism played a
crucially important role both in the shift from radicalism to
socialism that occurred in the late nineteenth century and in
enabling MacDonald and others to develop a distinctive
socialist position, marked off from liberalism to the right
and Marxism to the left.

DAVID
STACK
In this first study of the relationship
between Darwinism and the left in Britain,
David Stack argues that Darwinism provided
the ‘constitutive metaphor’ within which
modern socialism was developed.The organic
and evolutionary language of Darwinism, it
is shown, provided the discursive space in
which the new ideology of socialism was
probed, explored and developed in the
period from 1859 through to 1914.
The relationship between socialism and
Darwinism was not instrumental – with
socialists simply picking and choosing
convenient ideas to conform to their political
prejudices – but isomorphic, involving a real
cross-fertilization of ideas and concepts from
the biological to the sociological and back
again.This process was especially evident in
writings of those socialists such as Alfred
Russel Wallace, Emile Vandervelde and
Prince Peter Kropotkin who were also
accomplished scientists, but also helps us
better appreciate the stance of amateur
enthusiasts such as Annie Besant, Jack London
and Ramsay MacDonald.
The First Darwinian Left demonstrates how the
discursive boundaries imposed by Darwinism
profoundly influenced the construction of
socialist ideology in Britain: marking it off
from the older radical tradition, as well as
distinguishing it from liberalism on the right
and Marxism on the left. In particular, the
crucial role of Ramsay MacDonald in
developing and disseminating a distinctively
Darwinian understanding of socialism among
the membership of the Independent
Labour Party is analysed.

Fair play and foul?
John Elder
The Nordic countries remain unique in independently managing and operating their
health care complaints mechanisms and medical regulatory bodies. They are also almost
on their own in having established statutory no-fault patient compensation schemes as
an alternative to the potentially expensive and risky civil litigation route. Moreover,
these same nations (Sweden excepted) are among the few on the planet where sweeping
patients’ rights set in stone are in place.
Sadly, the enlightened example long set by lawmakers in Denmark, Finland, Norway,
Sweden and Iceland on all these issues is still not being matched by their counterparts in
the United Kingdom – or, for that matter, anywhere else in Europe.
For instance, ‘more’ rather than total independence is the theme of the latest British
reforms following the sustained public excoriation of the previous health care
complaints and medical regulatory systems – in particular the routinely inequitable
outcomes they produced for complainants. Self-regulation continues to be the
predominant force in the operation of these new procedures. As before, only a
comparatively small proportion of complaints lodged with the National Health Service
in the UK will receive the attention of the recently established independent review bodies
– where these have been set up. Furthermore, regulation of doctors and nurses remains
in the hands of their existing, albeit extensively reformed, regulatory bodies under
whose patronage the consideration of allegations about these professionals is also being
maintained.
The position about patients’ rights in the United Kingdom is nowhere near so
contrasting. Nonetheless, instead of a specific set of comprehensive legal entitlements
the interests of patients and those who attend to their clinical needs are provided for,
collectively, via legislation, case law, set ethical criteria and health service policy rules.
However, the proposals for a patient compensation and redress scheme as an alternative
to the existing system of civil damages is a big step in the right direction – even if,
initially, it turns out to be a comparatively limited arrangement and then not of the
all-encompassing, no-fault variety.
Fair play and foul? examines all these issues in some detail and also focuses on an area
that had not been in the limelight before or during the reforms that began to take effect
in Britain since the turn of the century. It seems to have always been assumed that the
Health Service Ombudsman is above reproach. But is this really justified? The book
explores vital aspects of the organization that this key independent complaints arbiter
fronts in a way that has not been done before and raises matters that question the
body’s seemingly high standing.
In the process of examining the subject at hand, the book accepts that healthcare is not
the only part of public life in Britain where self-regulation still prevails, and provides
examples of the practice elsewhere in society. Perhaps, foremost among these cases of
institutional self-regulation is that relating to the British parliament itself, the body that
holds the key to enlightened public reform in all its guises.
Fair play and foul? may not be a good read in the accepted sense, but if it succeeds in
helping to bring forward the day when British citizens are conferred with the same level
of entitlements in their relationship with health care that their counterparts in certain
other European societies take for granted, it will have achieved its end.
