    I have faith in humanity to reach socialism, but I don’t have faith in humanity IN TIME to reach socialism. The destruction wrought by capitalism is proceeding at too fast a pace for us to have time.

    So what are the implications of this for your political activity?

    To continue, of course, but without optimism.

    Despondency and despair are not an option, despite the seemingly insurmountable challenges.

    We are fighting for not just ourselves but for our children and their children. We cannot turn our backs on future generations. There is too much at stake. 

     Frederick Douglass stated that “knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave.” 

    Solidarity must go beyond words and appeals. We must go beyond capitalism and its nation-states. We have to determine our own collective future. We must connect vital human needs, desires and hopes in a way that will persuade people to assert their voices and actions in the building of a new mass movement for a democratic socialist society.
