I'm feeling like just hiding in bed for the next 4 years. Friends on Lemmy, got any advice for us Americans coping with the oncoming shit show that is the Trump GOP takeover? (sh.itjust.works)

After ww1 there was one socialist country.

After ww2 one third of humans lived in a socialist country.

That number has risen since. Capitalism is slowly making its way off the stage of history.

No, no it hasn't risen since - unless your definition of socialism has expanded far more than I agree with. Meanwhile, economies elsewhere have gotten more and more market-oriented and financialised.
