The destructive forces of deregulation and financialization have destroyed so much of what makes life worth living in the modern west. And there is no end in sight- no political movement has the power to compete, the political system is fully corrupted, not even a heroic Luigi to put fear into our financial oligarchs.

So my question is this: where does this end up? Technofeudalism? Revolution? Sci Fi dystopia?
