Two Million Join Protests as Immigrant Debate Grips US

“Think about the strangeness of today’s situation: 30, 40 years ago we were still debating about what the future will be—communist, fascist, capitalist, whatever. Today, nobody even debates these issues; we all silently accept that global capitalism is here to stay. On the other hand, we are obsessed with cosmic catastrophes, the whole of life on earth disintegrating because of some virus, because of an asteroid hitting the earth, and so on. So the paradox is that it’s much easier to imagine the end of all life on earth than a much more modest radical change in capitalism.”
