If we think a collapse is coming, it's time to get together the avant-garde party that will take over power. There certainly isn't the beginnings of the makings of one, is there?

This said, I don't think Lenin really won, do you? Or, by "the worst", did he mean Stalin? (And he never saw Hitler [Godwin - yikes!] coming, did he?)

It is not in our interest -- not in the interest of the majority of people who are not engaged in being or becoming high net worth individuals -- that things really go sick and bad. There's enough of a struggle ahead without it.
