The first part of this work has already shown that our passions are not the tools for survival. In this part, it will be made clear that a person consequently pursuing freedom can match passions to the great questions of existence in an organic

We are living in a chaotic situation. Due to the structural crisis of the capitalist world economy, standard solutions for managing a shrinking economy do not work anymore, despite that politicians and experts keep assuring that the recovery is just around the corner. Fluctuations in everything are large and rapid and this applies as well to social protest. This is what we are seeing as the geography of protest constantly shifts.

Topics of the articles of this issue vary considerably but almost all of them are common in dealing with the fundamental contradictions of the capital system and capitalism, which are undermining the framework of human life. From Holocaust to the global crisis, the reader can find thorough analyses on the chances of escaping by social production as well as on cultural resistance. The debate on the world-systems analysis of Wallerstein is also continued. A series of photos, as a new feature of Eszmélet, present the artwork of Éva Keleti. We recommend reading on Auschwitz, the ghetto, defaulting states and the world system, economic collapse, Beatles, global crisis, postcoloniality and on escaping the grip of the state and capital.

The theory of Wallerstein, writes the author, is one of the progressive anti-capitalist/ anti-systemic theories, which analyse the hierarchical structure and antagonistic contradictions of the capitalism, interpreted as a world system, at the highest scholarly level. At the same time, the inherent contradictions of this theory cannot be hided. It missed to develop a theory of social forms, that can be found at Marx, and says little about the historic features of the soviet and state socialist development and has not really integrated them into the theory. Nevertheless, the theory of Wallerstein is open and can be developed further with a critical angle.
