Long term and for socialist nations? Yes, I’ll always choose to retain at least some revolutionary optimism. I don’t think humans will go extinct this century or anything like that. As for my personal life, I have never felt worse, so at the moment I have very little hope. I dont think that’s what you were asking, though.

It is foolish to ignore the nearly baked in mass suffering on a global scale that we will endure in the coming decade. Things will get worse, I’m almost sure of it. The hegemon almost won, and this will have consequences.

However, this does not mean its over or that we shouldn’t be hopeful for the future. Plenty of great things are happening in the world; plenty of anti-capitalist things. As a species, I do have genuine faith that we will make it. My recent doomer post more revolved around my specific generation in the United States and my flailing personal life. I still believe China will come out on top, that socialism will prevail, and that eventually we will live in a better world.

Onwards, my friends.
