I am confident. I think that the ending of racism and the self-destruction of capitalist societies are part of the same trend forward. The removal of racism as a weapon of confusion will hasten our transition out of other oppressions and out of societies that oppress. Enough oppression is going on that there will be disruption and hurt happening in the transition, but that has been going on throughout society's history. Everything does not have to be good before progress can be made.
