In these days of profound uncertainty, it is comforting knowing that certain fundamental truths still exist and serve as guiding lights through the dark waters.
I rather much love this essay, but being rather much the consummate skeptic that I am and aware of the power of words to not only create but also deceive I would like to point out how the meanings of two English words have been basterized for political reasons; the first ghetto, now popularized as a slum, but originally something more akin to today's, 'gated communities', the other word, 'Oligarchic', originally did not include those of a Malthusian bent, so it's use today as such is a sort of narrative control, because those who control the capitalist world today in their heritage never suffered and were never good. They always were and will probably always be of a Satanic nature. Even today the past injustices are rarely if ever truly recognized by the descendants of those perpetrators., so the same plagues that afflict us today will continue to do so till the end of our age, or species if you prefer; unnecessary but such is the nature of the plague.
"...the Greater Eurasian Partnership and broader Belt and Road initiative spreading across the face of the globe has pulled more people out of poverty and despair at rates unseen in all history...." I'd like to see the data...
