The Conception of Democratic Planning in the Communist Party of Spain (1988-2018): A Path Towards Communism?
Abstract
The article traces the approaches of the Communist Party of Spain (PCE) to the so-called "democratic planning" -which constitutes the core of its economic proposals- during approximately thirty years of the party's history, between the 12th and 20th Congresses (February 1988-December 2017). For this purpose, its political documentation, as well as other relevant documentation, is used. The aim is to elucidate to what extent the party remains faithful to its original Marxist ideology, as well as the type of society it projects when it refers to a socialist or communist future. By analysing its proposals on key issues such as property, labour, the market and the environment, it becomes clear that he advocates a "mixed economy" model in line with the postulates of social democracy.
