I was being facetious.

Based on Keynes' own statements, he aimed to "reforming" capitalism --
"managing" it in order to protect it from itself and its enemies. 
Early on, he said that "wisely managed capitalism" was economically
superior to any other conceivable system.  As far as I know, he
maintained this conviction until the end of his life.
