Good, but omitting a lot of important cases
3 September 2021
The presented material is of a great quality and huge interest - I knew most of the events discussed, but in less detail, and some of the new details were really important for proper high-level understanding. What _is_ covered is of a great value.

The problem is with events left out of focus. Basically this series is about US, GB, Russia and China and in the most part only events directly related to them are discussed. Based on them a - totally reasonable - question whether there are some new ways of building society is posed. But hey! Please open your eyes and look what is happening in other countries. You are disappointed in revolutions in Europe in mid-20 century? Check out revolutions in post-USSR countries (not Russia)! You don't know what common ideas besides communism or individualism can be there? Check out those same post-USSR countries, India, Pacific region, and Latin America. Not everything is great there of course - but they are very different, with other questions being relevant, and other answers given.

In short: if you are really interested in different options - spend less time looking at yourself (that only leads to making more conspiracy theories: most of the real information was thoroughly analysed already by many people), look around instead! Experience of other countries can give some real insight - both on what is worth trying and what is best to avoid.
