Nah, I was following up on Frederic Jameson's hypothesis which assumes there's a general inability to imagine the end of capitalism.

And your criticism is ad hominem.

Far from assuming in my writings that everyone always agrees with me, I posit a clash between what I call the intellectual counterculture and the mainstream culture of the masses. I aim to speak for the former, which means I assume there's no such broad agreement about my views. The counterculture is always in the minority.
