I still don't understand why leftists put this out as a theory of how Marxism will be revived. Depressions generally mean higher competition for jobs, a backlash against immigrants and minorities, weakened political power of the working class, and obviously a higher amount of power from the ruling elites.
We should be looking for ways to make Marxism appealing during the good economic times....Difficult to make a case?
I don't know exactly how, but I think there is a way to do it... --- Sent from UnionMail Service [http://mail.union.org.za]
