    In the history of all declining empires in their dying years of their order their writings and culture are permeated with gloom and apocalypse on the horizon.

    Todays US is filled to the brim of writings of gloom, doom, misery and hedonism

    Whilst the environment is the challenge of our times I don't think it will lead to human extinction

    Althought mass misery is very likely

    However the Russian/Chinese and Korean communists lived through world war 1 (40 million dead), Russian famine 1921 (5 million dead), Famine again in 1932 (5 million dead), World war 2 (85 million dead, atomic bombing of 2 civilian cities then the Korean war with another 8 million dead

    They walked through a period of history that couldn't be closer to hell on earth if you tried.

    Imagine if they just gave up?

      I respect your spirit, and you are right about many things. However, this was over before it began. Trotsky sold us all out. I blame him most for this. If it weren’t for him, Stalin would have grown, seized control of Europe, and we would have had worldwide communism by 2000
