THE PROFOUND AND MOSTLY UNEXPECTED
EVENTS OF THE PAST TWO DECADES, SUCH AS
THE NATIONAL UPHEAVALS IN LATIN AMERICA
AGAINST NEOLIBERAL DOMINATION AND MORE
RECENTLY THE SUDDEN DECLINE OF THE
FINANCIAL MARKETS HAVE RAISED THE LEVEL OF
SPECULATION IN THE LEFT ABOUT AN IMPENDING COLLAPSE OF CAPITALISM AND WHETHER TO EXPECT A WORKING CLASS REVOLT.
