No, that didn't answer my question. My question was what sort of crisis
will break the stranglehold and cycle of the two current dominant capitalist
parties that you spoke of? Like that that occurred with slavery, the civil

will make it possible so that a party of the left can intervene and take
some ground? Scenarios anybody?
