The lag between events which swung into motion then and what has happened recently means that revolutionary organizers have a great deal of work to catch up on. Tho several factors separate this chapter from its preceding era, we have to be clear about those factors and how
they affect our prospects for revolutionary work.

The spreading political crises suggest that the system of monopoly capital domination is approaching its limitations. We have to overstand that capital, for all its worth, has severe limitations. People must oppose capitalism because in a vast interwoven social fabric which makes fabulous lifestyles possible for a handful of people, billions of others live at the margins of existence.

Indeed, capital cannot sustain the growing world society. There is not enuf of it to go around. Capital and capitalism cannot end poverty; capitalism lacks the ability to make people happy. It cannot end wars and violence; on the contrary, it intensifies aggression. Capitalism will never make any inroads towards ending disease and mental affliction as long as a profit can be made. The capitalist class system remains responsible for dividing society, concentrating resources into a few hands, where the
distribution of those resources could go a long way towards improving everyone’s lives everywhere.

People everywhere have high expectations for Barack Obama, who can only pay lip service towards solving the problems of the real world. He did not even address the US black (African) community except to make a poorly received speech on Fathers Day. At that time, he was seen for promoting the same old Democratic Party shrift. Perhaps he may break attempt to break out of the mold, yet the system of worldwide domination will never let that happen.
