Our Post-Pandemic Future

Will human civilization simply resume course or will we recognize the need for numerous far-reaching reforms?

{“Radical reforms — reversing the prevailing policy direction of the last four decades — will need to be put on the table. Governments will have to accept a more active role in the economy. They must see public services as investments rather than liabilities, and look for ways to make labour markets less insecure. Redistribution will again be on the agenda; the privileges of the elderly and wealthy in question. Policies until recently considered eccentric, such as basic income and wealth taxes, will have to be in the mix.”}

Via a reply to one of my post I was lead to another site forum. What I found within was a foresight that obviously will not be the case of the above for our country (US). For they can not find the imagination within themselves to brave a new journey from the same old delusional reality they've been living in voting for what they believe is a lesser evil. {We do not appear to trust ourselves to depart from the the hellishly precarious life for so many in a neoliberal world.} Our imaginations have been captured and bound in rhetoric fear. FDR wouldn't even be able to break through those chains today.

{There has been no stirring display of American national solidarity, if you have not noticed. We are all sitting around — more or less in silence, so far as one can make out — while corporate captains and a corrupt administration chart the course forward. Why is this? Do not look for any answer in politics, or in economic advantage or disadvantage. The problem transcends all such considerations.}

And as yet another corrupt democrat primary quickly fizzled out like a whimpering death, the masses fall to their knees to support its advancement in bliss. The ruling class win again.

{Covid–19 is a health crisis, and very soon it will be an economic crisis few alive today will be able to fathom. But it is above all a psychological crisis. It is essential to understand this.}

The delusional reality we live within takes another giant step towards mass compliance.

{Cowed by fear, oozing despair and dependent on those who have clearly betrayed us at each turn, we’ll become even more catatonic in our cells. After lockdown, we’ll stumble like blind fools, into this farce, again.”}

{“Here we don’t die. We shop. But the difference is less marked than you think.”}

Propaganda has fooled us again.
