ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses briefly some grand strategic questions that have great importance for universalizing activists. These are questions that nobody in or out of the movements have answered definitively, but must be explored to succeed in the universalizing project. Universalizing resistance must find ways to build popular power when systemic changes are not in their favor. Universalizing capitalism is creating existential threats that could end human civilization, notably climate change and nuclear war. All universalizing movements are "democracy movements" because it is only when the public reclaims power that any of the fundamental rights of all our communities can be realized. The time crisis is the strongest argument for the universalizing project. It recognizes the compression of space and time in the universalizing system. It thus sets forward universalizing resistance as the only strategy that has even the possibility of working.
