Oh, don't splutter into your green tea. You know as well as I do that the future - constrained and damaged and poisoned and violent - will not be built on grand centralising dreams of the authoritarian bureaucrats on the left and right, but on individuals doing it for themselves, their families, their communities and the planet.
The socialists - the nostalgic liquidating death cult - are dancing in the ashes of the world that's leaving them, leaving their dreams of control, order and artlessness dead.
The corporatists - socialists and tories by another name - are on the front line of liquidation, feeding off each other, trying to grab more and more, and wasting years developing high tech security and surveilance systems for a low tech future.
The sheep - those barely educated, materialistic little drones are just swept along by it all, loving Alan Sugar and Jeremy Corbyn in turns, flapping around for something solid to hang on to, whilst everything falls to the floor around them, shattering on their highly polished parquet flooring that's so last year.
There's only one ray of hope. That the economic system that guarantees freedom if not success, that punishes and rewards in turn, that promises nothing and always delivers more than that, is so wonderfully adaptive, so quick to act, so neutral, is something that we can hang on to through all the trials that are coming. That in a world where nothing seems to stay the same there is one solid, permanent feature that we can be sure will help us as things fall apart.
To build a better world you need do just two things - ignore what egotists try to push you to do and embrace capitalism.
