What could and should have been

"My friend! We live in a wonderful time - a time of great construction, extraordinary discoveries, a time of the irrepressible movement of our society towards communism. Our wonderful time is full of the romance of creating something new, full of big dreams. Our tomorrow is the communism we built. Let's dream together today..."

Vasily Zakharencho in "Journey to Tomorrow" how he imagined the future of the USSR.

The Soviet Union might not exist anymore and did not manage to meet its own expectations and aspirations but I still believe in a society based on science, exploration and community. One that is free from the shackles of Capitalism.

@revenant "Cultural Marxism" is a buzzword created by the alt-right but most ideas attributed to it are quite nice.
