The period of crisis, revolution, and counterrevolution we have entered is necessarily accompanied by splits among the capitalists and their politicians. Simply put, the ruling class is no longer able to rule in the old way. One wing wants to slow down the pace of austerity in order to prevent a social explosion; the other wants to ram through austerity, no matter what the consequences. And within both wings themselves there are bitter internal divisions. But no matter what course they choose, they cannot avoid the organic contradictions of the system they are all sworn to defend. As the saying goes, when the wind begins to blow, it blow the tops of the trees first. Only later, as the winds gather speed and direction, are the rotten trees themselves uprooted. This applies also to the class struggle.
