The only thing we can imagine is catastrophe.

"Faced with the prospect of capitalism actually 
ending, the most common reaction (even from 
those who call themselves progressives) is 
simply fear. We cling to what exists because we 
can no longer imagine an alternative that wouldn’t be even worse."

@DGI I like to say: Science fiction always talks about the present. Thinking of our futures after capitalism means thinking about our present. We have a practice in yoga, where we look for the good. To shift our future, we shift our present, we look to see the alternatives to capitalism that we can see all around us. Like, nobody has a baby, and immediately gives the baby a bill for all the milk that the baby drinks. Think of it like a game, spot the alternative to capitalism all around.
