I sure would like to be able to say that capital is a uniquely self-destructive system that the contradictions will become untenable and that it can't metabolize it and that it's going to fall and that it's going to fall in our favor and that all of the atrocities committed to get us to where we are are going to be shown to be pointless and are going to experience retribution on historical time, that the arc of history tends towards justice and that all the evils we see perpetrated in the name of building the system we have will be able to mark the system as evil and lead it to fall and that the evil of the system and the fact that structurally materially it's going to fall are the same thing... materialism with the moralism baked in... That the God of the material world that doesn't exist is good. that the millenarianism subtly baked into Marxism is going to be shown to be accurate and that there's going to be a chaotic revolution and that something better is going to come out of the ashes... it's a dark perspective but in a world where it seems like we're heading for the period of chaos anyway it's a very compelling perspective but I don't know if I can say that. And people have said that before and turned out to be wrong about how adaptive capitalism has proven to be. I'm not sure. it's not that I look out look to undermine that narrative either because I'm also suspicious of the postmodern suspicion of meta narratives... I think stories are the medium by which we live I just don't know I just don't know what I can say. and I don't know what can be said concretely. in terms of where we're headed historically and concretely in terms of what the nature of capital is and concretely in terms of what what's going to happen in, to, of, put a fine point on it, to reduce it in a way that's overly simplified in a evocative way, and in an a pointed way to how this line of thought heads. I don't know if we're going to be saved or damned. And I don't know if God's a good guy or not. and I don't know if community gardens are going to provide any sort of answer oor grounding or you know it's just a bourgeois fantasy that's gonna get washed away with everything else. I don't know I really don't I don't know how much can be said about any of this, concretely. Even though there's a bunch of this stuff that I would really like to say. And yet, for thinking people, living in this time, those questions seem to demand answers. and that's... that's a tension that I think either you work through while seeing clearly or you shy away from it and you end up trying to work through it anyway. without being able to see what you're doing, right, the choice of whether or not to put blinders on doesn't change where you are on the trail, right? I just don't know. And I think being honest about that, rather than performing some rhetorical smugness of uncertainty, the way that a lot of poststructuralists love to do is probably more honest.
