I see the whole pattern of the Agricultural Age as the problem.  Too much power in the hands of the elites, with too much tribal thinking.  The Cousin's Wars describes the start of the porcess of moving away from that pattern.  The crises of recent times show how each major conflict removes a flaw of that pattern from the culture... kings, slaves, dictators, racists, etc...

Communism is a last attempt to maintain autocratic government, to maintain the Agricultural Age.  While in many ways they talk about progress and revolution against the old ways, the revolutions have always been in countries close to the Agricultural Age pattern whose culture leads the leaders to continue the Agricultural Age way.  While in many ways I can sympathize with the goal of revolting against the abuses of the elite, without the Enlightenment and non violent tools they have only wound up replacing the existing elites with another group of elites.  They have not provided a short of violence check on the power of the elites.

While most won't describe it that way, they have come to recognize Marxism as a failure, unworthy of support, and the Marxists have become irrelevant to the ongoing conflict between the Ages.  The struggle has gone on in the US without the Marxists ever becoming one of the two dominant philosophies.  It is likely now to continue that way, a ghost of a failed philosophy.

The struggle continues without them.  This crisis, the Republicans favor the elites and the racists.  The major points of conflict include too much wealth and power for the elites, racism, COVID, and perhaps global warming.  Another crisis, another step further away from the Agricultural Age pattern.

Einzige is dealing with a dead philosophy which is no longer relevant to the conflict.  Classic is supporting the old values, mistakenly falling for the propaganda of the elites.  Neither are getting rid of elements of the Agricultural Age and thus making the culture better.  They are trying to make creating a more perfect union not American.

We will see.  There is another holiday surge on top of a surge due.  The elitist in chief has a bunch of lawsuits lurking.  The economy is such that the elites are the only source of available capital.  The greenhouse gasses are building, riding the old idea that the environment is there to exploit.  I'm trying to preserve hope that the crisis could continue the long tradition of abuse left behind.  The loyalty to the old ways is still there.  They have pushed the old ways rather than go along with progress enough to prevent the crisis from becoming hard.

We shall see.

A group of elites managed to turn MEGA hats into symbols associated with racism and idiots like bought into it. You's guys better be careful about what you go along with because turning your world into a war zone similar to what was seen in Iraq is more possible today. You helped placed lives at risk with your ignorance and stupidity. Do you want us to treat BLM;s the same as you treated MAGA's. We can and we will if that's the rules of the game from here on. PULL YOUR HEAD OUT YOU FUCKING IDIOT TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

You keep using racist to describe us and something happens to a lot of us, we're coming for you son of a bitches and I don't give a fuck if you have Asperger's or you're missing some brain matter after having a tumor removed and you're stuck in a wheel chair. A lot of you are going to die. We are at the point where if a bomb goes off in Minneapolis it's going to kill a bunch of Democratic supporters. Heavy blue areas on maps aren't hard to see or find these days. WAKE UP!! You guys are so fucking stupid it's unbelievable these days. You'd think you'd learn from what happened this summer. FDR was elected to prevent an internal Civil War from starting. I'm sorry dude but climate change takes a back seat to more important issues relevant to the issues today. The nation is already transitioning and I expect we will continue transitioning.
