   A thought experiment:

   It's been nearly a century since the beginning of the New Deal. Arguably it was first (and only) major intervention to contain the worst aspects of unrestrained capital. Ultimately it failed. If you could magically return to any time in the past 90 years, could you *realistically* hope to avert fascism?

     The answer is the proletarian revolution. The liberals of the past have, through their past actions, proven that reforming capitalism is impossible (even though Marx and Marxists have already explained that it is impossible and why decades ago). Eliminate capitalism. Eliminate bourgeois hegemony. Build socialism and proletarian supremacy.

     Corollary questions:

     Is liberal democracy based on capitalism viable?

     Is the Democratic Party a dead end?

     Is electoralism a waste of energy?
