ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book demonstrates in great detail the failings of neoliberal capitalist globalization and the nature and consequences of the global rise of authoritarianism at a critical juncture in the history of global capitalism. The crisis of neoliberalism and capitalist imperialism on a global scale has on the one hand unleashed the forces of reaction to maintain the neoliberal order and prevent the demise of global capitalism. In short, to reverse the trend toward authoritarianism and fascism under neoliberal global capitalism, the working class through its organizations and political leadership must take the necessary steps to reverse the course of history and to set the stage to take the lead in bringing about a new world from the ashes of the old.
