The Death Mask of Neoliberalism

In times like these, it's easy to give in to rampant despair.

But the painful, bumpy descent of the US Empire into stagnation and irrelevance isn't the end of the world.

The plutocrats own trillions in assets. But we workers of the world own twenty-five or so developmental states and gigantic sovereign wealth funds.

The plutocrats own the US political overclass. But we own massive social movements.

The plutocrats own the mainstream media. But we own the digital commons and the videogame culture.

The plutocrats are trying to make workers pay for the cost of their thievery and outrageous greed. But progressive candidates are winning in Latin America and revolutions are sweeping the Middle East.

Neoliberalism has trashed our planet. It's time to take it back.

One, two, many Joe Capellis!
