You say yourself that fascism is creeping in again; fascism is capital's response to mortal threat. Things are not going well for the west, 2008 was a mortal wound that is still bleeding out the US world order. The new world struggles to be born, shouldn't that be reason for optimism?
Hm, you have a point. But I don't want to expect too much, from the decline of the western and its fascist reaction and self-harming spiral.
There have been many opportunities, after all, for the western capitalist clique to fall but they've returned back, there and then (eg. post-WWI and post-WW2).
We're just past the trough of one point, and now soon to meet the rising action that might do it in. But until we meet the climax of it, I don't wanna be too bloom or doom.
Anyways, Iran's responding back to Israeli strikes, innit?
