This book is a contribution to the growing discussion among working people everywhere who are looking for a way forward in the face of sharpening capitalist crisis and spreading wars.

"Este mundo de desorden capitalista-la realidad imperialista del siglo XXI--no le habría resultado extraño a Che," escribe Waters.

U.S. Imperialism Has Lost the Cold War ...That''s what the Socialist Workers Party concluded a decade ago, in the wake of the collapse of regimes and parties across Eastern Europe and in the USSR that claimed to be Communist. Contrary to imperialism''s hopes, the working class in those countries has not been crushed. It remains an intractable obstacle to reimposing and stabilizing capitalist relations, one that will have to be confronted by the exploiters in class battlesin a hot war. This book analyzes the propertied rulers'' failed expectations and charts a course for revolutionaries in response to the renewed rise of worker and farmer resistance to the economic and social instability, spreading wars, and rightist currents bred by the world market system. It explains why the historic odds in favor of the working class have increased, not diminished, at the opening of the 21st century.Also includes: *The Communist Strategy of Party Building Today by Mary-Alice Waters *Socialism: A Viable Option by Jose Ramon Balaguer *Young Socialists Manifesto *Ours Is the Epoch of World Revolution by Jack Barnes and Mary-Alice Waters Paper, 344 pages Annotation, Photos, Introduction In GreekDiethnes Vima

"To think that a socialist revolution in the U.S. is not possible, you would have to believe not only that the ruling families of the imperialist countries and their economic wizards have found a way to ''manage'' capitalism. You would also have to close your eyes to the spreading imperialist wars, civil wars, and economic, financial, and social crises we are in the midst of."-Mary-Alice WatersCaracas, Venezuela, November 2007The answer to the question posed in the title of this book takes on added urgency in 2009 with the contraction of capitalist production that is accelerating worldwide. In two talks, presented as part of a wide-ranging debate at the annual Venezuela Book Fairs in 2007 and 2008, Mary-Alice Waters explains why a socialist revolution is not only possible. Even more importantly, she explains why revolutionary struggles by working people are inevitable, initiated not by the toilers, but forced upon us by the employing class''s crisis-driven assaults on our living standards and job conditions-on our very humanity. As solidarity grows among a fighting vanguard of working people, the outlines of coming class battles can already be seen. "Eerily prescient, given the current economic climate.... Recommended for public libraries and for academic libraries as primary source material on U.S. Socialist movements."-Library Journal online review of the Spanish edition, Es posible una revolucion socialista en Estados Unidos?

Because it will enable us, as a witness, to have a closer look at the truth ... and learn the unavoidable realities of the modern world in a principled manner."-Iran Book News Agency.
