|
The basis for hope for internationalist revolutionaries.
|
|
Such is the balance-sheet - the assets and the liabilities - of our movement.
|
|
There are, it must be said, mitigating circumstances. It is not easy to steel revolutionary organisations, to train its
membership in revolutionary work, in historical periods which, overall, are not revolutionary.
|
|
This does not mean that over the last decades there have been no opportunities which could have led to a revolutionary
situation. In fact there were many, all over the world. But such historical periods do not often offer a second or a third
chance within a short time for the benefit of revolutionaries who have not learned the skill of grasping opportunities when they
arise.
|
|
But it may well be that, since the early 80's, things have started to change in this respect. The long period of respite for
imperialism which followed World War II was not really affected by the upsurge of the colonial revolutions. But it probably drew
to a close when the economic crisis erupted at a time when the market economy was spreading all over the world with more frenzy
than ever before.
|
|
The objective conditions in capitalist society are once again becoming favourable, all over the world, for the rebirth of a
worldwide proletarian revolutionary movement and for the rebuilding of an International worthy of the name.
