While the initial response to the present crisis is working class retreat, of worldwide governmental capitulation to imperialism and especially US imperialism and the creation of a new Holy Alliance, it cannot be too long before militant resistance surfaces to challenge the global system in dozens of countries virtually simultaneously, a resistance which a hemorrhaging world imperialism will be increasingly helpless to contain, irrespective of whatever rapid deployment forces are set up and dispatched. We must communicate and infuse this spirit of optimism among the peoples, an optimism not based on wishful thinking but on a realistic assessment of the fundamental motion of contemporary social development.
