Editing Libertarian socialism (section)

===New social movements===
A minority from the New Left continued their radical activism within the [[new social movements]] of the 1970s and 1980s, becoming involved in [[second-wave feminism]], the [[gay liberation movement]], [[environmental movement]] and eventually the [[anti-globalization movement]].{{Sfn|Hahnel|2005|pp=148–149}} In this period, many libertarian socialists, such as [[Murray Bookchin]], Cornelius Castoriadis, [[André Gorz]], [[Ivan Illich]], E.P. Thompson and [[Raymond Williams]], were committed to " in rethinking what socialism might come to mean in an age of ecological limit".<ref name="p794">{{cite journal | last=Stevenson | first=Nick | title=Raymond Williams and the possibilities of 'committed' late Marxism | journal=Key Words: A Journal of Cultural Materialism | publisher=The Raymond Williams Society | volume=16 | date=12 July 2018 | issn=1369-9725 | url=https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/index.php/output/912158/raymond-williams-and-the-possibilities-of-committed-late-marxism | access-date=13 September 2024 | page=}}</ref>

According to Robin Hahnel, new social movements continued the New Left's tendency of failing to develop a "comprehensive libertarian socialist theory and practice". Libertarian socialist activism became focused on achieving practical reforms and theoretical developments centred around common "core values" such as [[economic democracy]], [[economic justice]] and [[sustainable development]], without building a coherent critique of capitalism.{{Sfn|Hahnel|2005|p=149}} Activists from the 1970s and 1980s influenced by libertarian socialism did not advance coherent alternatives to markets and central planning, and had no reformist campaign. Eventually, Hahnel argues, they turned to traditional [[single-issue campaigns]] and abandoned their "big picture" libertarian socialist approach.{{Sfn|Hahnel|2005|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=CI5d2CpL60oC&pg=PA149 149]}}

These movements were somewhat successful in achieving their goals: the movements for gay and [[women's liberation movement|women's rights]] changed societal outlook on [[gender oppression]]; the [[anti-racism|anti-racist movement]] proved it necessary to tackle the social aspects of [[racialisation]]; the [[anti-imperialism|anti-imperialist movement]] reconceived of anti-imperialism outside of economic terms; and the [[environmentalist movement]] launched a wave of ecological defense and restoration. Together, Hahnel argues, they broke from the [[class reductionism]] prevalent in traditional forms of libertarian socialism, proving intersectional oppressions other than class also demanded attention.{{Sfn|Hahnel|2005|pp=150–151}} Through the new social movements, libertarian socialism developed an awareness of different aspects of oppression, beyond class analysis.{{Sfn|Hahnel|2005|p=151}}
