In this video, Alan Woods (editor of marxist.com) introduces the discussion on world perspectives at the International Marxist Tendency's 2019 world school in Italy. He discusses the impending recession, the crisis of reformism, and the collapse of the so-called political centre.

When Alan delivered this speech in July, there were already insurrectionary movements rocking the world, from France, to Hong Kong, to Sudan and Algeria. The explosion of struggle and revolt subsequently in Chile, Catalonia, Iraq, Lebanon etc. only serves to further confirm our analysis at the time: that we are entering into a period of world revolution.
