You are talking about fundamentals as if it has some set baseline. Improved fundamentals at 95% loss are still a lot worse off than festering and long-term stagnation at 5% loss. What you are describing will take generation to recover from.

You really need to re-examine your assumptions of "long term" and realize that scenario you are describing is likely "lost generation", with our kids maybe getting a chance to get to where we started. Ideological purity will not feed and house you, and you cannot build infrastructure, education and push scientific progress with it.
