Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

It seems to me we are repeating a historical cycle...
....-1929 AD
Neo-liberal low taxes for the rich making it rain money on the rich while the rest of society struggles
↓
1929-1939
Depression as a result of these poor economic policies
&
Rise of far-Right parties offering "populist" solutions without fixing the underlying problem of giving all the wealth to the rich
↓
1939-1945
World war started by far-Right parties
↓
1945-1980
Western democracies shift significantly to the Left, introducing tax rates of up to 95% on the rich, introducing major benefits for workers, strengthening labor unions.
Economic policies lead to massive expansion of the middle class, and historically unrivalled prosperity.
↓
Cycle begins to repeat
↓
1980-2008
Neo-liberal low taxes for the rich making it rain money on the rich while the rest of society struggles
↓
2007-2009
Great Recession as a result of these poor economic policies
↓
2016-
Rise of far-right parties offering "populist" solutions without fixing the underlying problem of giving all the wealth to the rich
&
Labor unions expanding and reaching historic levels of popularity
It's the same cycle of hosing the rich with money leading to a recession, leading to the populace getting angry and far-Right demagogues channeling that anger without actually having economic solutions. The question becomes: Will we need another world war this time before people remember that we already know the answer is Left-wing economics rather than the far-Right demagoguery that just distracts people with random cultural issues while the rich continue to run out the back door with all the money?"I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein
