The capitalist project has failed, and our Constitution - poorly written even for the time - is wholly unequipped to deal with the crisis, nor the emergence of highly ideological political parties.

I agree overall on both points, but it's worth noting that the founders intended for the constitution to be amended much more frequently than it has been.
