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.

    It's interesting how much variability there is in the competitive stage. I wonder how long our "competitive" period will take this time and how nukes will influence the development of major wars. Cold war, proxy war and nuclear holocaust are the only options we have left at this point.

    Or if 50 years is just the minimum and I'm just fucked. Aw hell I already knew I was fucked.
