But the hope of many crisis fans is that the collapse will finally bring about that class-conscious left. That's delusional, I think, but it's a common belief.
There are also some weird affinities between crisis Marxists and libertarians/Austrians. Both camps think that state bailouts just can't work, and the crunch has to come - someday. That position makes sense for the right, which sees the state as some external imposition on the beauties of the market. For Marxists, who presumably understand the role of the state as enforcing a ruling class agenda, it's mysterious.
