Not the whole world, but definitely the neoliberalized imperial core and its neocolonized vassal states.

This isn’t a case of viral, grassroots bad mood/fascist vibes. It’s the predictable result of grinding, late-stage/finance/monopoly capitalism, of zombie neoliberalism. Even the incorrigibly liberal Chris Hedges saw this coming fifteen years ago in his book, The Death of the Liberal Class.

The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters. β€” Antonio Gramsci
