When you say "globalization," what are you referring to? I mention the international worker's movement in my comment, and how it was defeated after ww2. Incidentally, I do place much of the blame for that on Stalin as he used the Comintern not as a "communist international" but as yet another way to build a base of power and loyalism for himself and the bureaucracy.

But capitalism is already global. Imperialism is global capitalism. It is international banking and finance, it is the relation and exploitation of the second and third worlds by the first world. Its trade agreements, energy policies, embargoes. It is support for Israel and its role in destabilizing the middle east for resources.

It is absolutely true that there are no shortcuts to a better world, no hack that tricks the masses into emancipating ourselves. When I talk about revolution, i'm not talking about a putsch or a coup, although those things are inevitable as violence has consequences and the ruling capitalist class is incredibly violent, and will not hesitate to use extreme violence to suppress even legal and nonviolent forms of organizing and protest. By revolution, I mean a significant change in the way society is structured, for whose benefit. And this is deeply connected to what gets made, for whom, and why.

So the socialist revolution is a mass struggle for a better way of life. Its people no longer accepting exploitation, but real democratic organizing on local, regional, national, and international scale, on the basis of working class interests, and opposed to capitalist class interests.

This is a radically different basis for society. But the potential for it is already here. Capitalism is historically unique in many ways; and one way, is that its tendency is toward the development of two distinct classes whose interests are totally opposed. Basically, it tends to concentrate power in fewer and fewer hands, while increasing the exploitation of more and more people. Furthermore, the capitalists of our era aren't like the capitalists of the 1700-1800's, who like actually knew how to build shit and keep it running. Now, our billionaire capitalists just know how to shift money around, its the workers who actually run things.

So the way through, is solidarity, education, unity in struggle against exploitation, racism, sexism, etc., everything that the capitalists use to divide the working class. But since racism/sexism/homophobia are structural, intrinsic to capitalist rule, we can't just kumbaya it out of existence. We have to collectively and democratically smash and dismantle them. WO before we can win that fight, we have to build the basis for the alternative. Wars are won decades before they are ever fought. The basis for victory is social and structural, not pure military (although military is a part of the social structure.)

Sorry I'm so long winded, I just like to make it clear what my ideas are to avoid talking past another person in a discussion. But yeah, if you can help me understand what you mean by "globalization," then it will be easier to fully understand your comment.
