The late Rudolf Meidnert, who passed away just last December, was known as one of the fathers of the "Swedish model". With his economist colleagues he developed a model based on centralised wage negotiations and a solidarity wage system, which enabled them simultaneously achieve both high employment level and low inflation. Meidner's most foresighted idea was the program of gradually transferring corporate shares to employees, but not even the social democratic government was ready.

Representatives of the progression must find a new strategy in the world of modernity, lacking any centres. According to the author Derrida's postmodernism can be a reference point in finding a non static non-metaphysic way to the solution. What Zapatistas try by their "caracoles" strategy.

Anti-Leninist anti-capitalism is a philosophical oxymoron, but it is nonetheless an existing and potent intellectual standpoint in "Anglo-Saxon political Marxism" – which has seen better days – and also elsewhere. It rejects some historical facts and developments with theoretical verve, thus barring the way for deep and comprehensive analysis of social developments.

The author discusses possibilities for a second wave of the world revolution. The first was the attempt of the Bolsheviks, which failed by the Stalinist turn. Today "the only perspective for a global revolution is establishing revolutionary powder-kegs in the »Third World«, which would create horizontal ties among each other – ignoring fundamental imperialist cultural institutions and narratives of the »First World« – leading to subsequent armed struggle and organisation of uprisings, establishing of »liberated zones« and seizing of power in specific countries."

The author speculates on perspectives of a global socialist revolution and searches subjective factors underlying it. Taking for granted the structural crisis of world capitalism, he calls upon classical answers to provide solutions, such as the philosophically most developed Marxism of History and Class Consciousness (1923) – especially focusing on the dilemma whether messianic Marxism is still applicable in today's conditions.
