If there is a pattern, it will come back - maybe in Russia more than anywhere else, because it has collapsed so many times. Maybe less so here in the States, because here the society is so young. ↗

You can't have a United States if you are telling some folks that they can't get on the train. There is a cracking point where a society collapses. ↗

As a result of the World War, this old Germany collapsed. It collapsed in its constitution, in its social order, in its economic structure. Its thinking and feeling changed. ↗

We may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse. ↗
