The defensive struggles of anti-neoliberalism, although very important, will not succeed on their own terms as they presuppose a dynamic of further capitalist development that could enable such reforms. The large-scale mass politics that one can expect in this period will obviously assume in their initial phases a defensive struggle against a further deterioration of the situation. It is a fight-the-cuts approach, but it is not viable for getting out of this situation. There is no returning to a stable and more rational form of capitalism at the end of the road here. That’s the political upshot of what I’m trying to get across.
