Maybe, just maybe, the west's political classes will realize--before its too late--that neoliberalism and funnelling the wealth of the many up to the few wasn't such a great idea?
Ah, whom I kidding, if its a choice between democracy and less money, or fascism and more money, neoliberalism will send democracy packing.
Looking at Germanys history, and the current behaviour of the "conservative" and "liberal" parties:
Naah, they will happily delude themselves into being able to control the fascists and help them into power, believing it would mean more power for them too.
As long as the political class and the wealthy few have such a large overlap, it's a great idea for them.
