We have the potential for far better, yes.
The real question is, will enough people want for us to get better...
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!

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!
Nice! Feel free to add feedback in the comments or ask any questions you like!
