Conservatives. Teleological Marxism is frankly on the wane.

On the wane? More like dead (to anyone with a still functional cerebral cortex). Though there is an element in neo-marxism which seems to be filled with apoclypatic glee at the prospect of soon-to-be (it is always soon-to-be) collapse of capitalism. Sort of like Christian fundamentalists and the rapture - but far less relevant and dangerous.

That's what I meant. In particular, certain designations as post-capitalist, or just the outlook of some thinkers that expect a massive sea change in a handful of years. I used to read a lot of texts with this sort of mentality, but I haven't come across it once I focused on writings from the late 80s and on.
