Many always thought that Leon Trotsky http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Trotsky was not only way too radical, but also a nut . One of the reasons for this was the belief that even the Capitalists would have a limit to their ruthlessness. Another was the understanding that the working class (the Proletariat) would step in and put an end to the assault that was coming.
But it looks more and more like Leon Trotsky could have been right. His Theory, and what later became know as Trotskyism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trotskyism made it clear that Capitalism will keep on milking the poor, and to put an end to that, there's no way but to wage a Universal (international) Proletarian Revolution .
One thing was not anticipated or even thought of by any Marxist, and this was the reach of Capitalism and Capitalists.{ suggest: Capitalism in its most vicious stage, imperialism }.With its global ties and partnership, everyone anywhere now falls {within their grip} and will be assaulted, milked and drained. And for those of us who are unlucky, kept alive so he/she/it will continue to produce for the system.
I do not believe everyone in the world knows all the details of this so called financial meltdown, but I honestly doubt that you will find anyone that does not know for a fact that the USA and those in charge of it did, in the middle of a sunny day, steal the whole world, friend and foes of the US, blind. I believe that the whole picture is clear though not in details.
This is unprecedented and is for sure a new level of (Imperialism) that neither Marx nor anyone else for that matter dreamt of. {Note: It is what imperialism does - what is unprecedented is the scale.} It is over reaching in the sense of that even the tools of the Capitalist system i.e. the Banks, Insurance Giants are not spared. It's numbing because it is global in scope- and help is nowhere to be found, not help for the masses, because its not in the nature of the Capitalist/Imperialist system to help the masses in times of crisis. The system's priority is help for the tools that are designed to keep the blood stream flowing to the heart of the system. In terms of humanity' struggle to live in the world it is an irrational system, and almost impossible to even try to understand what's going on. At no time in the history of the world, do so many people are feeling so helpless and hopeless.
So what is to be done? This is the question that Marxism was founded to answer and it looks day after day to me, that Trotsky probably had a better understanding of the Capitalists and their greed than Marx and his friends. It is too early to reach this conclusion? Maybe. But people worldwide are getting hurt by this assault and maybe an International Proletarian Revolution is the only way out before it becomes too late.
