If this is true, socialism is doomed. The only basis for confidence in the
possibility of socialism is the knowledge that capitalism, far from being
a historical inevitability, was an aberration, a cancer, which was internally
self-destructive from the beginning. But if it was inevitable, then theories
about the end of history cannot be refuted and historical materialism
is a silly daydream.
