    Personally I think we’re about to get another reminder that Marx was right. But we’ll see.

      People will try to push the old stuff that didn’t work like communism etc. I hope there will be something new, like take the best of the known systems sort of thing. One can dream eh ☺️

        Oh I’m not even talking about him regarding communism. I’m referring to Marx’es most significant work - the analysis of the workings of the capitalist system. He (they) created that work (Das Kapital and related works) in the mid-1800s. I’m reading and it describes in striking accuracy what’s happening around us today, often with uncanny predictive ability.
