Obviously, but that doesn't mean that there aren't fissures in capitalist solidarity. What we've seen since the beginning of the pandemic is an exponential heightening of internal fractures in the capitalist class. The consumption of the petty bourgeoisie to keep the wheels of industrial and finance capitalists turning.

We're experiencing a breakdown of the existing neoliberal world order and something will come in to replace it. What that is, I don't know. In America it seems to be a heightened police state and a rapid shift towards fascism to maintain the complacency of a petty bourgeois class that's loosing their standing. In the rest of the world, it seems to be a mad dash away from the west while their pants are around their ankles.
