Anyone who believes destruction of the Labour Party will magically reveal a true anti capitalist force, backed by a MAJORITY of the population, is a fantasist. I gave my reasoning earlier.
Even if an anti capitalist movement emererged it would not gain acceptance among the population because yes, hegemony.
Failure to mount a counter hegemony is the reason i am a million percent confident of my bet.
Go and ask every single person in the country if they want to end capitalism, most will laugh at you. Why? Hegemony.
I will keep repeating that word until certain people realise it is the reason you are all arguing over Labour and radical challenges to the system. Certain people want something to materialise that simply isnt there. It took neoliberalist ideology many years to filter through into society as a form of accepted 'common sense' (capitalist realism). People will fight to defend that system even if it harms them. Failure to understand this means you will fail to ever mount a credible accepted challenge to this entrenched mindset.
