The decade of socialist revolution begins (WSWS)

From WSWS:

On Friday, the WSWS published a statement by David North and Joseph Kishore, "The decade of socialist revolution begins." The first lines read: The arrival of the New Year marks the beginning of a decade of intensifying class struggle and world socialist revolution. In the future, when learned historians write about the upheavals of the Twenty-First Century, they will enumerate all the 'obvious' signs that existed, as the 2020s began, of the revolutionary storm that was soon to sweep across the globe. The WSWS must provide the coming struggles with political leadership. This great historic task requires resources. Donate now The ruling class is driving the world to catastrophe. The year began with Donald Trump's assassination of Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani, an act of war that threatens the lives of millions worldwide. We wrote in our statement, "War arises out of the anarchy of capitalism and the obsolescence of the nation-state system. Therefore, it can be stopped only through the global struggle of the working class for socialism." The international working class is waking up as a powerful social force. This is expressed in the rapid growth of the readership of the WSWS: There are many signs of the growing international political influence of the ICFI. During 2019, the WSWS experienced an enormous growth in its readership, despite a campaign of internet censorship. The total number of page views increased to 20 million, from 14 million in 2018 (a growth of more than 40 percent). We drew the following conclusion: These developments mark a significant advance, but there is no cause for self-satisfaction. The growth of the influence of the ICFI poses all the more clearly the immense responsibilities and tasks that lie ahead. This must include increasing our funds.
