    I think some people might not grasp the scale of destruction and death that resulted from “The fall of the USSR”. Western neoliberalism doesn’t really teach this as the absolute crime against humanity that it was. They think they just got pizza huts.

    It was the single greatest decline in life expectency rates in recorded history that was not caused by a disease, famine, or war. Ukraine became the child sex trafficking “capital” of the world.

    The capitalist oligarchs will do it again to the western world as long as they are able to maintain their positions of power. The “fall of US democracy” or whatever history will call it, it’s not the fall of the oligarchs that run that nation. They will be fine. The people and the working class of the US will suffer the consequences.
