---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Victor Kane <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Jan 21, 2026 at 4:49 PM Subject: ¡Socialismo o barbarie! Socialism or barbarism! To: John A Imani <[email protected]> [English below] En Davos hay rebeliones políticas. Greenland se alista para la guerra. Wall Sreet cayó hoy a su nivel más bajo en seis meses. Plata metálica alcanzó un precio jamás antes alcanzado hoy. ¿Llamamos a un helicóptero? Frente a una crisis política internacional jamás visto que solo puede empeorar, juicio político contra Trump no es imposible. Hasta Demócratas empiezan a hablar de quitar los fondos de ICE. La cuestión es que tampoco hay dirección política imperialista alternativa ni en los EE.UU. ni en Europa. Entonces no hay ninguna opción reformista, por más que Gobernador de California Newsom putee en Davos. Don't Look Up! La calles están llenas de trabajadores y de pueblo en todo el mundo. Don't Look Down! Pero tenemos nosotros, la izquierda revolucionaria, una crisis de dirección donde preferimos seguir como sectas enunciando abstracciones o privilegiando aun hoy el sindicalismo, en vez de unirse alrededor de un programa internacionalista de gobierno de trabajadores en base de todos los sectores y naciones. Con debate permanente. Crisis política internacional nunca vista exige Unidad internacionalista por gobiernos de trabajadores con debate contínuo entre todas las tendencias activas en la distintas frentes concretas. "¡Socialismo o barbarie!" Political rebellions are brewing in Davos. Greenland is preparing for war. Wall Street fell to its lowest level in six months today. Metallic silver reached an all-time high today. Should we call in a helicopter <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=helicopter+ben&t=newext&atb=v516-3__&ia=web>? Faced with an unprecedented international political crisis that can only worsen, impeachment proceedings against Trump are not impossible. Even Democrats are starting to talk about defunding ICE. The problem is that there is no alternative imperialist political leadership in either the US or Europe. So there is no reformist option, no matter how much California Governor Newsom rants and swears in Davos. Don't Look Up! The streets are full of workers and the people, all over the world. Don't Look Down! But we, the revolutionary left, have a leadership crisis where we prefer to continue like sects, spouting abstractions or still privileging unionism, instead of uniting around an internationalist program of workers' government based on all sectors and nations. With ongoing debate. An unprecedented international political crisis demands internationalist unity by workers' governments with continuous debate among all active tendencies on the various concrete fronts.
