"The growing threat of the right must be addressed. But this must not come at the expense of dissolving socialist politics into coalitions whose political and economic strategies – of neoliberalism and global war-making in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and across Asia – have been so directly responsible for the growth of hard-right forces in the first place. Indeed, in this conjuncture, it is more important than ever that the socialist left do everything possible to increase its visibility, create an organizational presence, and advance, as strongly as possible, an alternative political vision. This is not only necessary to preserve the democratic gains of the past but also to address the mounting demands of the ‘terrifying’ near future that Trump, NATO, and climate change are unrelentingly pushing us towards. If the market-based ‘solutions’ to the ecological crisis offered by the neoliberal center are inadequate, we must explicitly insist that only a fundamental challenge to capital, and a deep reorganization of the economy through a radical democracy and the implementation of a democratic planning regime, has any chance of leading to a sustainable future. That we are running out of time does not mean that centrist compromises or ultra-left posturing suddenly become more effective."
