Alternatives to capitalism

Is that title of this article, subtitled: Greece, grassroots (participatory) movements and the question of how. Here's a tantalizing excerpt to whet the appetite for the linked article:


"The fact is that capitalism is inherently opposed to democratic social relations. [...] But the focus of this essay is not critique. The focus, instead, is a much more difficult course of reflection on how autonomous movements and leftist government policy might begin to subvert the current political and economic system from within, for the benefit of a fundamental transition out of capitalism."

PS: In the US the likes of Sanders and Warren are part of this very process.
