in addition to your outline of the main points of the current political and economic crisis and its embedding into a historical perspective:
Could you also sketch the corner-stones of a socialist programme to fight the capitalist crisis (Antikrisenprogramm) - starting from the current economic, social and political situation of the US working class?
Or is it your aim to provoke a more detailed political-theoretical discussion about the causes of the different forms of the current crisis on these lists - so to speak as a first step, and then moving on to a discussion about socialist economic and social policies?
