Quotes by Geoffrey M. Hodgson (?)

“The socialist immune system is powerful because it compares an ideal socialism of the imagination, where people truly care for one another, with the grubby and exploitative reality of capitalism, as we find it in the real world. When the defects of actually existing socialism are acknowledged, then they are treated as temporary or accidental faults, due to hostile outside forces or flawed leaders. If the faults are too grave, then the defective system is no longer described as socialist. We return to the starting point, comparing idealized socialism with existing, always-defective capitalism. With due goodwill, it is claimed, socialism will work better next time.”
― Geoffrey M. Hodgson, Is Socialism Feasible?: Towards an Alternative Future

“After two or more centuries of experimentation, socialists should be able to point to an alternative system that works, rather than comparing the actual world with an idealized system of their imagination.”

“We may be facing a generation of struggle to defend liberal democracy and human rights from authoritarian nationalism. There is a danger of a contraction of world trade and even of a major war. These threats make action more urgent. The Left is better equipped to win this struggle, as long as it understands and avoids the errors of its past.”
