Socialism and Man in Cuba: Che Guevara and the Revolution of Consciousness
About this episode
Breht discusses Che Guevara's essay on the relationship between socialism and the transformation of human consciousness in Cuba.
Breht reads, reflects upon, and elaborates on Che Guevara's famous essay "Socialism and Man in Cuba" wherein Che argues that socialism cannot be reduced to changing property relations or economic structures; it must also produce a new kind of human being , less alienated, less governed by private self-interest, and more conscious of themselves as a social being. His central claim is that material transformation and the transformation of consciousness have to develop together, through education, collective struggle, moral incentives, self-discipline, and revolutionary practice. ---------------------------------------------------- Learn more here: https://revleftradio.com/ Check out Unlearning Capitalism for more political educational resources
