        All of 'em…All the prophecies !

        I like Antonio Gramsci’s work, but many have written on the same theme : Liberlism will inevitably lead to Fascism either through collapse, or mutation to protect capital.

        In this context, across the world we are observing Gramsci’s ‘Crises of Cultural Hegemony’. : The culture projected onto society (captialism, consumerism) by liberal elites, was never a culture of the working class - and in maturity, it becomes so far removed from working people’s lived experiences, and creates such disillusionment , it creates space for authoritatianism and fascism.

        If you look at the recent US election, the Democratic Party historically retain power by drip feeding cultural ‘freedoms’ such as gender & racial equality (which by the way always belonged to all of us), which enables them to claim superior morality, but all the while the protect the interests of Capital and the elites.

        A disenfranchised working class looking to improve their situation, are then vulnerable - and we’ve seen what happens with that.

        sorry for spelling and grammar. words aren’t flowing this morning.

          that’s what i thought you mean; i never heard anyone refer to theory as prophecy before.
