What Are Your Thoughts? Are You Optimistic or Not?

I'm shocked by how much the political atmosphere today kind of looks like the one of their time yeah which is crazy you wouldn't think. The fashion for strongman politicians who are going to come in and implement their will just do it that way because somehow or another the democratic process just isn't working the way it's supposed to. We've been through an age of reaction against progressivism on the left itself so we have a strong scholarly intellectual case for freedom as well as the true history of the miseries that communism and other forms of collectivism have imposed on the globe.
