Agree that we have used the word at times to excess, but the fact remains that half or more of the people of the world have less property than your cat and less assurance that they will get fed to satisfaction or get medical treatment if they're ill. If you look at the world from their perspective - and that is what Monthly Review is about - the crisis is real enough.
