DESCRIPTION:THE TRANSNATIONAL CAPITALIST CLASS AND WORKING CLASS STRUGGLE \n\n   A 
 number of today's Marxist theorists, among them William I. Robinson, have 
 argued that we are now into a new epoch in the development of capitalism, 
 the rapidly emerging transnational capitalist era. With the spread of 
 neoliberal globalization worldwide, production chains are now more and more 
 global, as is direct investment and the circulation of capital. Standing at 
 the top of the emerging global system is an increasingly powerful and mobil 
 transnational capitalist class which meets and develops as a community and 
 as a class for itself within transnational corporations and transnational 
 forums like the Trilateral Commission and the World Economic Forum.\n   The 
 apparent power of the transnational capitalist class should not blind us to 
 the historic mission of the working class, now a global working class three 
 billion strong. As Lenin observed, imperialism is the eve of proletarian 
 revolution. As imperialism has changed, the forms of working class struggle 
 must change. It is imperative that we understand the new forms of struggle 
 and new structures of resistance that are emerging throughout the oppressed 
 world, from streets of Seattle and the Naxalites in the forests of India to 
 the World Social Forum.\n   We have asked two ICSS members, Larry Shoup and 
 Gene Ruyle, to present their divergent views on these issues as a way of 
 stimulating further discussion and exploration.\n\nSunday Oct 27, 2013 •
