the unbridled personal freedom of choice fits in excellently with today's capitalism in the sense that the global social and economic process is becoming more and more impenetrable.

He is saying that we do not have a collective vision for a new society that can unify us all: i.e. a political project that could bring about a true globally unified humanity (our visions are of individual hedonism (religion of the self) and religious fundamentalism (religion of traditional values)). In the past there was at least Marxism (a religion of humanity) that was a political motivator because it had the vision of an interconnected "internationale" and the "end of history" as "post-communism". Today we have our personal freedoms but we don't really care about the collective welfare of everyone (we have no more religion of humanity) as we are not fighting for a real progressive (read: radical leftist) idea for a new utopia. Consequently the global sphere is dominated by corporatists whose only vision is to homogenise world culture and turn us all into a multi-billion person underclass (or the growing precariat as Guy Standing calls us). In other words today's global "social" and "economic" forces are becoming more and more unknown (e.g. TPP) (thus: impenetrable) and determined by forces which are not just inhumane but actually tyrannically insane. The longer this goes on the more and more impenetrable the global socioeconomic order will become. For me, a lot of the blame for this collective abandoning of the common space stems from the ridiculous dominant ideology in the humanities/social sciences today of "postmodernism", i.e. there is no direction to history, we are at the death of the grand narrative, culture is completely relative, etc. I say no to all three. If we do not have a collective vision for where we want to be: a direction (i.e. individual and collective freedom), a narrative (all of humanity together as one family), and cultural ideals (i.e. freedom, equality, justice for all) and if we do not redefine the collective global space as a space where the contours are determined by human values, then financial capitalism will continue to go unchallenged until there is another major financial collapse like in 2008.
