 Composition of 2017 (largely female) world labor force. Industrial working class remained stable in absolute numbers, while declining as a percentage of world labor force because of automation. Robotization and 3D printing promised an end to scarcity, but in fact provoked ever more massive global unemployment,​ thus reducing consumer demand and contributing to financial collapse. Meanwhile, some types od workers retained their strategic role in production, transportation and communication. Strategic bottlenecks as vulnerabilities in the global supply chain. Worker strikes were the backbone of coordinated global rising to overthrow the corporations and their armed thugs (police etc.). The peasants, who were still feeding the world, were also declining in numbers under pressure from corporate agriculture,​ seed monopoly and enforced debt. Their revolt, backed by the workers and the ecologists, succeeded just when their skills were needed to replace the unsustainable industrial model of agriculture imposed by capitalism. Desperate youth the world over, facing a future of unemployment,​ precarity, and hopelessness,​ were the first to throw themselves into the struggle, contributing their IT and other technological skills, spreading information and coordinating movements. Composition of 2017 (largely female) world labor force.

 Womens’ role as majority of working humanity in social reproduction (domestic labor), peasant agriculture,​ and waged labor. Women as most oppressed and exploited half of humanity. The slaves of the slaves. Their vanguard role in historic revolutions (1789, 1917, 2011). Their creativity, courage and determination once committed to struggle. Their connection with non violent struggle. Their practical good sense and connection with daily realities. No “better world” could have been possible without their mass participation and leadership role. Womens’ self-development,​ increased questioning of gender binaries and social roles based on traditional gender-stereotypes leads to full emergence of their potential. Womens’ role as majority of working humanity in social reproduction (domestic labor), peasant agriculture,​ and waged labor.
