We all got it wrong John, we all did. "Fascism incubated in that pupa of pandemic chaos created by the 1%" - Such an apt description.

A situation created entirely by the oligarchs, with their own benefit in mind as ever. I'm furious - not for myself so much, because I'm getting old, but for the younger generations.

Good one John. If COVID and Trump did nothing else good, they removed the veil from unbridled capitalism's inevitable path to fascism. There have been opportunities to stop the journey in the past but the biggest obstacles to changing direction have been the liberals, not the oligarchs who, in the end, liberals always support over socialism. The picture looks very bleak at the moment but there are many young people who appear to be seeing through the fog of our generation's obfuscations so I remain worried, cautious, but mildly hopeful.
