"After all, in the early nineties the great French philosopher Jacques Derrida anticipated this return as a response to Francis Fukuyama's (self-proclaimed) "neoliberal victory" at the "end of history".

-- As long as we're dealing with a capitalist paradigm, the best analysis we have so far is that of Marx and Marxist thinkers. It doesn't make one a Marxist if we use the tools he's provided to dissect and understand the capitalist system.

"The will of the capitalist is certainly to take as much as possible. What we have to do is not to talk about his will, but to enquire about his power, the limits of that power, and the character of those limits."

KARL MARX, Value, Price, and Profit


And Fukuyama miscalculated. The "end of history" is when capitalism on crack (neoliberal corporatism) overdoses on its own contradictions, as Marx had pointed out.
