In 1919, at the height of a global crisis that resulted from the turmoil of the Russian Revolution, the devastation of the first world war, and the collapse of Europe’s great continental empires, the Irish writer William Butler Yeats penned his famed warning to humanity, mourning the end of the old world: “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold / Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.”

His words were recently invoked by Joe Biden, addressing the United Nations general assembly. Today, just as then, he warned, the world is facing a critical historical juncture: “I truly believe we are at another inflection point in world history where the choices we make today will determine our future for decades to come.”

As always, Joke Bribem is wrong. But he does have an excellent track record of being wrong stretching back over 40 years.

In 1910 to 1930-ish, the radical Left was holding revolutions all over the place--Russia, Mexico, Germany, Italy, Spain, to name a few. Today the radical Left is getting a smackdown for their pushing stupidity in politics on various nations, deservedly so.

You want your country to become a fucked-up dictatorship and shithole? Let the Left run it, and they will drive it straight into Hell.
