DESCRIPTION:Sometimes really big things happen in the world that make millions of 
 people sit up and pay attention. Recently, in the space of four days, two 
 major events captured headlines and set off huge discussion and debate 
 among millions of people. The horrific oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico 
 and Arizona ’s SB 1070 anti-immigrant law have outraged and awakened many 
 people. And there is a need to build determined mass struggle around both 
 of these outrages.\n\nAnd both of these events point to how the system has 
 no real solution to these pressing outrages - but the revolution does. 
 Things don’t have to be this way - and a much better world is 
 possible.\n\nMini crises like these have everything to do with the movement 
 for revolution we are building. You never know in advance when outrages of 
 the system will become flashpoints of a new level of struggle and 
 consciousness among the people. Revolutionaries need to jump into these 
 crises, fight against these burning crimes of the system, and the RCP’s 
 campaign to spread the word about the "Revolution we need and the 
 leadership we have" has to reverberate into and then amplify back out of 
 these major crises now racking society.\n\nThis is a crucial part of how we 
 are building a movement for revolution - working to bring a revolutionary 
 people into being, with a backbone of those who have no faith in the system 
 and are devoting their lives to resisting oppression and building up for 
 the time when we can get rid of the cause of all this oppression. We have 
 to be "hastening, while awaiting" the emergence of a full revolutionary 
 crisis when the legitimacy of the system is stripped away, and millions are 
 actively seeking, and willing to put their lives on the line, for a whole 
 different world. We need to actively influence public opinion and organize 
 people to both hasten the emergence of such a situation, shape the 
 character and ground on which such a crisis would be struggled out to 
 resolution, and prepare to take advantage of such a situation to make 
 revolution.\nhttp://revcom.us/a/201/editorial-en.html\n\n
