para acabar con el último imperio

¿Era una victoria para el imperialismo estadounidense el derrumbe de la URSS? No. ¿Porqué? El fracaso del estalinismo comprobó que una capa parásita no es tan fuerte como las fundaciones del estado obrero. Pueda que en un momento dado el sistema basado en explotación no parece estar en crisis plena, no obstante estamos inmersos en una época generalizada de la caída permanente en la taza de ganancias, y la única manera que el capital tiene para revertir esta caída es destruir capital y quienes lo producen, es decir, llevar a cabo una nueva guerra mundial.Editado en forma de tesis cuando el Bush mayor dio el primero grito de victoria frente la caída del Muro de Berlín, El imperialismo perdió la guerra fría representa la única corriente que ha entendido como ni los mismos capitalistas se sienten libres, porque son esclavos de su capital -un capital que encoja de forma permanente-.El derrumbe del estalinismo nos representa para los trabajadores y campesinos la mejor oportunidad en más de setenta años a arrebatar de los superricos el poder estatal para construir su propio gobierno, y así acabar con el último imperio que pueda desgraciar la faz de la Tierra.

U.S. Rulers Lost . . .

For those swayed by the surface appearance of things and the propaganda of U.S. rulers, this title may appear out of this world. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the end of pretense by current leaders of Russia and other former European "socialist" states of being the heirs of Lenin and the 1917 Russian Revolution, and the U.S. military seemingly unchallenged - - where is the evidence that the U.S. lost the cold war?Read this book and you will find the answer. I will give you a hint: capitalism has not been restored in Russia or Eastern Europe. Cuba's unblemished revolutionary example and other genuine communists will have an easier time influencing today's fighters for liberation.

A necessary book for any revolutionary!!!

"In the present international conditions we reaffirm that socialism is a necessity. Not only is it the logical result of the development of the productive forces on a world scale, it is the only alternative to guarantee the survival of humanity" (Jose Ramon Balaguer, from the back cover)."Ours is the epoch of world revolution. The exploiters have not been able to resolve the increasing stagnation and vulnerability of the world capitalist system. They have not been able to impose crushing defeats on the working people and labor movements of a single imperialist country. They have not been able to overcome the political obstacles to their capacity to carry out sustained wars, or to prevent rebellions and fights for liberation by workers and peasants of the colonial and semicolonial world. And they have not been able since 1917 to restore capitalist property relations to a single one of the countries where it has been overturned" (Jack Barnes and Mary-Alice Waters, from the back cover).
