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.
