I wrote the following quotation down years ago, but can't remember where I read it. Though as I get older it seems more relevant than ever. Most of my adult life there has been talk of the coming crisis in capitalism, and most people on the "left" are still waiting for the crisis. I now believe it is obvious that we have to change that view point, the waiting is over, the crisis is here.
It's useless to wait---- for a breakthrough, for the revolution, the nuclear apocalypse or social movement. To go on waiting is madness. The catastrophe is not coming, it is here. We are already situated within the collapse of a civilisation. It is within this reality that we must choose sides.
When will the many choose sides, how many will choose sides, which side will they choose, and how do we influence them in what side to choose?
