I feel very saddened by the death of communism. Because it's not like it means that America won, it means that America is dying slower. I think communism lost because it died first. Certain aspect of socialism are reintroduced into the American fabric. This is just going to become a more toxic place to live.
Corrupt empires can last a very long time, but it'll become a more toxic place to live.
It already has become more toxic, as I've watched it, more so over the past ten years. Living in New York you get to see it up close. That's just a silly circus. There are no genuine alternatives in American politics, so it's very hard to stay interested. I just consistently do the same thing.
