The worst has not come yet | Peter Fleming

Capitalism is on the verge of suicide, threatening to take us with it. Will what comes after be a great socialist utopia? Or the beginning of a new dark age? The book "The Worst Is Yet to Come" explores the inevitable possibility that no revolutionary awakening will come from the offspring of neoliberal capitalism, but rather a much worse world, unless a miracle happens based on our awareness of what is happening around us. This is known to wealthy executives who prepare for it by buying resorts and secure isolated shelters in New Zealand. It is also known to politicians, who in turn prepare for it by transforming countries into war machines ready to act. As for scientists, they are either shouting about the danger of the upcoming environmental catastrophe or seizing the opportunity to conduct reckless genetic experiments. The animal kingdom is retreating into a terrifying and suspicious silence. The thesis of this book is that we may not have reached the bottom yet, but are on the brink of something worse. Perhaps our chance of survival is very slim, but there is still a possibility that our descendants will survive the consequences of capitalism, only if we keep in mind a realistic picture of the nightmare ahead. And only by arming ourselves with "revolutionary pessimism" will we be able to prepare. The apocalypse will undoubtedly be disappointing. The worst is yet to come - Peter Flemin
