The revolution may become conceivable, but it has hardly been thought of so far. The contradictions of the “old world” are deepening, but the contours of a “new world” are not yet emerging, nor is the path to it.

Instead of a positive elimination of conditions, a social regression could also occur: intensified competition in the fight for market share, “exclusive solidarity” (Klaus Dörre) in the fight for jobs and welfare benefits. Will governments master the crisis? Will world society cannibalize itself? Or will social-revolutionary movements form? These are practical questions to which only the real, living people can give an answer.
