systemic crisis
Regarding the great economic crisis that began in 2008, and has as similar backgrounds only large depressions that preceded the First and the Second World War, dynamics we are seeing is towards a deepening of it and not to its resolution. This is what explains the enormous inter-imperialist tensions that accumulate and trade war between the superpowers unleashed. Workers of the world have to be clear that none of the warring factions has nothing progressive, as they try to make us believe sectors that are said left without being. Beyond their differences, all drive brutal adjustments in their own countries and zones of influence to sustain profits of banks and corporations they represent.
Collapse of the old two-party regimes
The global economic counter-revolution that drove imperialism, in the 90 and retreat meant for the workers and peoples, far from allowing a prolonged period of stability to the capitalist class it had a devastating effect on political regimes that had built at the end of World War II. The fall of the Stalinist apparatus left them without their privileged partner to face the working class. Social Democracy and the traditional bourgeois parties began to sink under the anti-worker plans implemented.
First to the left
At the beginning of the new century, in response to all this black period "neoliberal", workers and other popular sectors true revolutions and rebellions staged in different parts of the planet. One to one in Latin America were falling the most out governments and emerged new, Dye nationalist left some, progressives other. When the wave reached Europe began to emerge expressions of a new left as Syriza in Greece and similar elsewhere. None of these varied expressions raised anticapitalist take steps to lift their people out of poverty and were succumbing and quickly weakened to the extent that the crisis in their economies left no room for half measures.
Right now
The right, which in recent years has succeeded to the government in several countries, It arises from the disappointment of the mass movement with the traditional parties and all expressions of false progressivism rather than his own virtues. Their flags are Businesswoman efficiency, the heavy hand against insecurity, fighting corruption, xenophobia against immigrants and intersecting streets, mostly supported by reactionary religious fundamentalism and evangelical churches. Some, still marginal in the global context, begin to fly speeches neofacistas. However, none of these projects has been consolidated, and to do so will have to produce historical defeats to the workers and other popular sectors that face before the economic crisis, which leaves no room for any concessions, the fraying as happened with progressivism.
An increasingly polarized world
The most likely immediate prospect is not increasing strengthening expressions right but the rapid weakening of this kind of projects and confrontation increasingly radical masses that drive the program and what they represent. A strong showing is what is happening in France with the right Macron. In the world raw polarization. Trump emerges and this strengthens socialism grow behind swaths Sanders and radicalization of youth. Surge un proto-fascist as Bolsonaro, but it begins to awaken Brazilian mass movement that had been numbed by years of government petistas. Fachos grow and antiderechos groups in various regions, but a global feminist wave breaks with a strong anticapitalist component.
There is room for radical left
The emergence of expressions of right and the crisis of the reformist references on the left and false progressivism in its different models can not confuse. There is a huge space to the left of all these expressions that no one is even trying to occupy. It is huge among the working and student youth, among women and the most exploited sectors of society. But we can only occupy themselves went out to challenge it in the streets and with a clearly socialist and revolutionary program; If we do not yield to the siren song of political fronts with sections of the "supposedly progressive" bourgeoisie to confront the right, as it proposes the kirchnerismo or PT in Brazil to confront fascism course Bolsonaro.
If we faced with campismo propagandists and counterrevolutionary governments trying to cover in Nicaragua, Venezuela or Syria developing an independent class policy against variants that the empire is trying to build to succeed them. If we intervene in mobilization processes that are developed to address to dispute all devices, including right, without falling into abstention of some opportunist or sectarian left. If you do not give you the right flag anti EU. If we are forefront in defending democratic rights and carry out a transition program to respond to each of the present and historical needs of our class. In short if you do not lose sight of our strategy to fight for a workers' government and socialism in each country and the whole world.
Tactics and strategy
The right turn of the nationalist leaderships, progressive and traditional reformists is scandalous. But it is also how quickly the regime assimilate new phenomena such as Syriza, We may or newer variants like the Frente Amplio Chilean and similar. Faced with this reality, without ruling out the validity of certain tactics at certain times, It is essential at this stage of the class struggle ratify more than ever that our strategy is to build our parties and a revolutionary socialist International. It has been a guidance in this regard what has allowed us to jump in our construction, incorporate new Anti-capitalist groups and peers Network and join with other revolutionary organizations with which we have raised the possibility of building a major international power. And we go for more.
