Abstract

The article has three main research goals. First, to show the assumptions of the strategy proposed by left-wing thinkers at the end of the 20th century. Secondly, the theoretical and philosophical assumptions of this strategy will be confronted with the practice of the functioning of left-wing groups in the European Parliament and other EU institutions, especially after the outbreak of the crisis in the euro area after 2010. Thirdly, to summarize the previous deliberations from a global and European perspectives. The aim of the article is to answer the question whether the offensive of the left, visible in the EU in the second decade of the 21st century, can contribute to the success of this formation and to the healing of the European project.

Keywords:

socialist strategy, hegemony of leftist values, democratic revolution, radical democracy, excluding constraint, socialist strategy, hegemony of leftist values, democratic revolution, radical democracy, excluding constraint
