She says what we need to do now is (finally) launch a real mass party of the working class. This time we’re serious. Attempts to do so in 1848, 1872, 1889, 1901, 1918, 1933, 1939, 1947, 1951, 1956, 1966, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1979, 1986, 1990, 1993, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2014, 2015, and 2021 just didn’t pan out.

But we’re ready now.

Who this “we” actually is . . . is not all so clear.

(Unfortunately, Marxists like Kshama tend to have in mind a “we” that’s not actually operationally significant. That may explain why another effort to launch a real mass party of the working class will fail in 2025, 2029, 2039, 2047, 2048, and 2049. Then the left will finally enter the post-Marxist era.)
