------------------------------ Huh? Have we eliminated crises? Crises have been endemic to capitalism throughout its history, even if they have been much more smoothly managed since the depression. We can't predict when they will occur, and so far none has proved to be the "final conflict". But I expect sooner or later there will be another crisis, and it will be accompanied by a revival of mass protest. Beyond that, I wouldn't venture to speculate about the outcome. I wasn't saying anything more than that, so you must have misunderstood me.
