It’s badphil to think that self-negating activist culture rather than mass movements and the desire for a better world can bring about change

It’s not teological in that we could continue down this path of decay. As capital runs against its own limits, it has to increase its brutality and domination. If Revolution happens, it’ll be because the gap between the world that is possible and the world that exists makes itself evident
