The thing that is so heartbreaking about reading things wrote by communists of that time is the confident optimism they looked upon the world with. They were absolutely convinced that history was progressing and that they had a bright future to look forward to.

Having grown up in the aftermath of the counter-revolutions of '89 and living with the increasingly dire consequences of climate change most people today has never known hope. Not even reactionaries believe that the future is going to be better than the present.
