Not cynical, just critical.

No solutions offered in this piece, just some perspectives worth considering.

Neoliberal capitalism is nowhere near peaking. (Read Michael Hudson's last few books.)

Things will get significantly worse-- there are still trillions in public assets to loot, and tens of trillions in private wealth to extract.

I don't see reform on the horizon - why would the corporatists let go of there power? - and in the age of AI, autonomous drones, digital currency, etc, no revolution is unquellable.

Revival is the only sensible option.
