An awakening

It is long past the time for us to recognize both the urgency and importance of Marx's words.  It is more than the fact that his writings are relevant today.  It is that Marx had put the emancipation of the working class center stage and all of the worlds exploited.  It is not only analysis that is necessary, but action.  What good to the world do we accomplish, if we do not advocate and fight to not only end a system which leads to the impoverishment of the majority of the world's population, the enslavement of the productive forces to feed an insatiable war machine, and glorifies selfishness- but also work to understand the methods to develop a true and profound socialism.  
This socialism must be supported by a profound awakening in the working classes around the globe, and to those who are firmly allied to this cause.  Capitalism's decadence is self-evident.  The myth of the worthy rich has been exposed as baseless and its time is expiring.  

We have a choice to stand with those who are downtrodden the world over- in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the un-liberated places remaining in Latin America.  We have the duty to deepen our knowledge and to transform the tools of society from servants of commodity fetichism to servants of all mankind.
