You have said it yourself, the advance did not last long and we do not live in a better world, but in a world in the hands of an elite, for whom a briefcase with money is worth more than the life and well-being of the population.
To quote G.Orwell in Animal Farm, when pigs learned to walk on 2 legs.
USSR was the first serious attempt at challenging global capitalism. While capitalist world ultimately prevailed over USSR, it may not outlive USSR for much longer the way things are going. Capitalism is an inherently self destructive system, and it cannot last forever. Ultimately, the elites rely on the masses being compliant in order to perpetuate the system of oppression. This contract only works as long as people are willing to put up with the class relations as they are.
The current situation is going to be a turning point, but it is still not very clear which way it is going. Normal people are very stupid and capitalism has almost all of its media on its side, unfortunately.
I’m afraid they’d rather do a reset with a world war than admit that the system is a failure, as it has happened multiple times in the past, going from bubble to bubble.

Yeah, completely agree with that. We’re living in very dangerous times and things can always get a lot worse than they are now.
Well capitlism was made for the wealthy by the wealthy, its purpose consisits of chanelling money which is not a lasting way to run an ecenomy.
