I am aware that the West’s best time was essentially at the expense of the rest of the world - but where can one find opportunity and prosperity of those times today? Was this a great anomaly of history? Is it time to hedge your bets on living out the Chinese dream?
Is it time for the West to accept that what our parents experienced will never exist again?
Will the world overall need to accept that the western living standard of that time will never be reached again? (It’s too unsustainable - for the planet, and because superprofits won’t flow as they once did)
What has actually happened that’s caused it to collapse?
Yeah I HIGHLY doubt we’re going back. If the bourgeoise can’t even bear a socdem like Bernie they ain’t letting the poor catch any more breaks.
Well yes, but at the same time, in the case of a lot of western Europe, the socdem policies were on the back of imperialist profits. Is that preferable?
Synthesis: Socdem will permanently thrive in Western Europe, but it’s because burgerland volunteers to be the exploited sweatshop.
No but I’m just saying
Oh fun
