I agree, but it’s not triumph if you simply replace it with local imperialism and capitalism. A post-scarcity future is possible. But we have to imagine what lies beyond capitalism. What might have the Bosheviks accomplished with good computers and no Stalin?l

True. However, that simply isn’t the case here. We can know, with certainty, that Putin is a secret communist trying to rebuild the glory that is the USSR. We can know this because we want it to be true, and wanting it to be true makes it true (when it’s a good thing).
Soviet scientists like Lysenko proved this in the 20th century.
The true triumph is throwing off the yoke of western imperialism and capitalism.

I like you. You’re funny.
