Essay analysis: "Where the prospective horizon is omitted"

The argument of the essay "Where the Prospective Horizon is Omitted" seems to be in part, as the title suggests, that dystopias are 'bad places' of little to no hope, no possibility of improvement, and no "prospective horizon' is seen or felt past which exists a life that is different and better. Wegner wants to argue that these dystopian facets, with their basis often in reality and real problems, should not be 'naturalized' or taken for granted, because, as the opening epigraph says, the Real is "an unfinished world", and 'the only realism' is 'an enormous future'. Wegner wants to argue for hope and imagining a better future even in the face of dystopian scenarios, which, due to political circumstances or otherwise, might omit 'the prospective horizon'. For example in Fight Club, where schizophrenic split and attempted suicide are outcomes of desperation against a life dominated by 'Post-Fordist' corporate namelessness and 'the global neo-liberal onslaught', and were the only or best perceived options to oppose a hated life. Wegner wants to argue that the possibility of radical insight or transformation and new political collectivities are always 'tendential and latent', and dystopian fictions should not ostensibly convey a 'naturalism' without critique, because without being a critical dystopia, what may appear to be a challenge to or exposing of harsh existing realities can have the effect of 'ideologically inoculating' an audience into reproducing 'the very social realities [a dystopian fiction] disparagingly opposes'. Therefore, a dystopian account or fiction without an impulse toward any 'utopian present future' is potentially conservative and can end up serving the kinds of political or other forces which it previously had the impulse to oppose. Therefore, the argument seems to be that dystopian scenarios should never be taken for granted as a kind of 'realism', or appear to convey a 'naturalism', because the window toward 'the prospective horizon' and positive transformation, no matter how dire the circumstances political or otherwise might appear, should never be closed.
