Class conciousness is abysmal at the moment. Too many people are still conditioned to keep their head down and worry about their own situations. Electoral politics can achieve some things but without the people discovering some solidarity to leverage their numbers against the ruling class's wealth then it's a losing battle.
Activists have come along way since Occupy but they can't make up for a fossilized labor movement.

2. I don't know what you think Neo-liberalism failed to do. As far as I can tell it did everything it wanted to.

Well it certainly worked out for the rich but the wealth gap can only get so wide and the future can only get so bleak for everyone else before complacency turns to rage. And the boom and bust cycles of capitalism seem to be getting worse so the cracks may be getting wider.
