The Marxist grass seeds coming up through the US pavements
Without solving the fundamental question which embodies the
antagonistic character of the social totality.
In a 'normal', pre-revolutionary
state of things, everybody is fighting his own particular battles see current social unrest in the US (youth are they are in the main very you are rioting and looting, trainers and designers goods being their adornments of choice) and workers are
striking for better wages, feminists are fighting for the rights of women,
democrats for political and social freedoms to get Trump, ecologists against the
exploitation of nature, participants in the peace movements against the danger
of war, and so on). Marxists are using all their skill and adroitness of
argument to convince the participants in these particular struggles that the
only real solution to their problem is to be found in the global revolution: as
long as social relations are dominated by Capital, there will always be racism, always sexism
in relations between the sexes, there will always be a threat of global war,
there will always be a danger that political and social freedoms will be
suspended, nature itself will always remain an object of ruthless exploitation. To 'the barricades citoyens' or f... you... you mother f...kers as the US rioters articulate in their dulcet vernacular.
