Not so sure about that. I think change is a constant.
Systemic changes occur despite the narratives we are fed by predominant power systems (that they are super strong and have "logical" linear continuity from prehistoric/ancient times, through god or whatever along those lines).
Look at what happened to the notion of kings around the world. Sure, some are still around but the power they have is not comparable to what their grandparent had, if any.
Or what happened to the soviet block. To my knowledge - nobody expected it to collapse when it did, not even the secret intelligence services of opposing capitalist countries.
So no matter what the future holds, I'd say let's dare and imagine inclusive, egalitarian, ecological solutions against the predominant narrative of structural despair.
