    There’s a quote in Ministry for the Future that goes something like “It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.”

      I think that phrase might have been coined by Slavoj Žižek, talking about the pop culture fascination with zombie films. I’m almost positive I read it in one of his books/essays back in the 2000s. I refer to it a lot.
