The global order imposed by victors of the inter-imperialist slaughter of World War II is shattering, with explosive ramifications for workers and farmers worldwide. Excerpt from the book. A decades-long retreat by the working class and unions has come to an end, as owners of capital and their parties shift the burden of their crisis onto working people’s backs. More and more workers—of all ages, skin colors, and both sexes—are saying, “Enough is enough!” They’ve begun to wield the collective power of the exploited producers in response. This book, drawing from the trade union and broad political work of members and followers of the Socialist Workers Party, highlights opportunities ahead for class-conscious workers. It sets the course of action needed to forge a labor party built on fighting unions. And a mass proletarian vanguard able to lead the struggle to end capitalist rule, opening a future for humanity.
