The International Situation and Our Problems Thesis
A condensed abstract of the 1921 Third International thesis by Trotsky and Varga adopted at Moscow. It traces postwar capitalist crisis, the imperialist economy, and the revolutionary wave from 1917 to 1921, analyzing class struggle, state finance, and the shifting world balance toward America and Japan, and raises questions for the Communist International on tactic and program. The piece outlines the failure to overthrow capitalism, the role of artificial recovery, and the looming economic contractions across Europe, with emphasis on England, France, Italy, Germany, and the broader colonial world.
