is what you're trying to argue that this is not the end of capitalism as a whole?
if that's the case, then you're arguing against a straw man.
if the argument is that the present situation is not serious, then the burden of proof really does lay with you. so far, it's not going terribly well. for example, i don't really think folk are singling out bank failures as being THE key index of anything--rather, it is an index amongst others.
the claim regarding "fundamental strength" seems mostly like a liferaft for your worldview on these matters--something that is compelling to you because it helps elements of your neoliberal outlook to not drown in a sea of reality.
personally, i've long thought that neoliberalism was lunacy, so it doesn't bother me at all to watch it sink beneath the surface of the water.
