Does not bode well.

it was from my latin american history course, favourite one I took, professor taught it from a 100% openly Marxist perspective. Final slide he displayed during his last lecture just said

"There can be no socialism without democracy nor democracy without socialism"

Fuckin based prof.

But anyway this "hegemonic cycle" thing scares the shit out of me given where we are right now.

    Yeah I was just assuming that there was some sort of important treaty signed in that time, or the fallout from one conflict or another would be relevant. I think there was a global recession in the 1890s, maybe countries became less reliant on british manufacturing after that?
