So, I've ran into a manifesto written by Ljubodrag Simonovic, a environmentalist left-communist from Serbia, who's been influenced by the situationists, Marcuse and Mandel. It's on the end of his book The Last Revolution, which deals with his views on all bunch of stuff, and it begins:
VISION OF THE FUTURE
The following are the principal ideas that offer humankind the possibility to survive and to create a humane world: direct democracy; production for meeting genuine human needs; a radical reduction in labor time; the development of man’s creative being; the development of interpersonal relations and the establishment of a humanized relation to nature. These ideas constitute an integral part of modern visionary thought, and their substantial relevance today lies in their opposition to the totalitarian destructive order that is capitalism, their relation to the very real possibility of global annihilation. They are no longer a libertarian challenge, but, instead, have become an existential imperative.
