.....It is easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism.” .... “We can now revise that and witness the attempt to imagine capitalism by way of imagining the end of the world” --- Fred Jameson, (2003) One way of understanding Jameson’s comment is that within the ideological and affective spaces in which the neoliberal subject is produced and market-driven ideologies are normalized, there are new waves of resistance, especially among young people, who are insisting that casino capitalism is driven by a kind of mad violence and form of self-sabotage, and that if it does not come to an end, what we will experience, in all probability, is the destruction of human life and the planet itself.
