How can we truly turn things around, bring about revolutionary change
in our badly wounded, struggling world? For those of us who identify
with the up-and-down, historical struggle for a world where its
resources and decision-making are shared among all in a just way, and
democracy and human rights are for real, it is important that most of us
agree in general on the main outlines of a strategy for such a change.
Having a strategy is, in essence, like having a well thought-out
plan. If you’re going to get from point A to point B, and it’s not an
easy path, you need to figure out how you are going to do so, how you
will overcome the many obstacles in your way and make it to your point B
objective. Making a revolution in the USA for sure needs a clear,
understandable, thoughtful plan grounded in reality, not up-in-the-air
wishes or dreams.
Down through history people on the Left have often been at odds over
key strategic questions: what about third party vs. work in the
Democratic Party; is the working class THE key sector and what is the
working class today anyway; the issue of class vs. intersectionality vs.
not seeing them as either/or; the kind of organizations(s) needed to
give leadership to the struggle for transformational change; and more.
