this a view of the linear progression of history to 'justice' except it's false because the contradictions of capitalism always reel back any progress that is made. It always needs to find the social sweet spot where the most profits can be extracted.

Political change doesn’t just happen; it incubates first. Countless small awakenings accumulate, moving 100s of millions of people in different ways from distraction to alertness to serious concern & ultimately to conviction. It’s happening now, & that’s why change is on the way.

You’re leaving out labor unions, child labor laws etc. I agree with you that unbridled capitalism is winning at the moment, but it’s simply not true to say that its prevalence has been the linear trend. It’s always a struggle and it’s simply our generation’s turn to push it back.

After WWII capital convinced labor that 'we're all in this together' and then fled to places without unions or child labor laws. I agree we are in a moment but if capitalism is not directly attacked, not just bridled, when it is at its weakest moment maybe ever, moment will pass.
