    I have never been more hopeful for the future. I can’t ever remember feeling so much hope as I have done in the past couple of years. A hundred years will pass during the next decade. The world will be guided by communism in my lifetime. I did not think I would get to see it. But since around 2020 my view has changed.

    Since then, when people irl talk shit about China, Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Cuba, Venezuela, wherever, or whoever, I can’t help but smile and try not to smirk. I’m chuckling inside, thinking, ‘Time will tell’.

    Edit: The tipping point, if you’re interested, was watching China build fully equipped hospitals for thousands of Covid patients in a matter of days and weeks. I can’t tell you how proud I was to see organised workers move so quickly to save lives, bolstered soon after by embargoed Cuba sending medics to Italy. There’s no stopping a force driven by such compassion.
