I remember this quote from one of David Harvey's talks last year. It is striking that Harvey warned that this economic crisis may not be a time for the demise of neoliberalism as many claimed but a time of class warfare waged by the capitalist ruling class. Several years on, having seen how the capitalist states absorbed - or rather socialised - the costs while privatised profits to corporations and individuals that ultimately contributed to social austerity policies that gravely hurt the population - the latest of which is the Republican Party's assault on American social security systems, are we approaching a critical point where the vast majority of the population in the core capitalist countries are about to strike back? What would be your assessment of the situation now?
