I don't mean better for you or me but better in general. Do you believe our species will ever reach some form of enlightenment or will we destroy ourselves?

The short answer is yes, as conditions deteriorate due to Capitalism and Imperialism decaying, and decay they must, more people become radicalized every day. If these radicals read theory and get organized, eventually a tipping point will be reached. The very fact that conditions are decaying rapidly means radicalization is also rapid.

May whatever deity who may or may not be active hear you and decide that it'd be fun to watch!

You can certainly help ๐Ÿ˜‰ I keep a "Read Theory, Darn It!" introductory reading list on Marxism if you want to check it out

Thank you, always good to have more lists! Been reading up on things like this for a while, among other things, and I've already noticed some unfamiliar names in your post!
