Why did the October Revolution, which aspired to change the world, degenerate and collapse in less than 75 years? Why did the revolutionaries who dared to leap into the sky, at the end of their lives, face the barrels of the red firing squad? Why did the disconnection of socialism from democracy end in tragedy with millions of victims?

Can social systems skip stages of social evolution and go from feudalism straight to socialism, as if they were locusts or frogs? Were Stalin and Mao Zedong ultimately more retrogressive and reactionary than Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great?

These and other tormenting questions that troubled the world for an entire century are explored in Thanos Papadopoulos's book "The Tragedy of State Capitalism in the 20th Century." The Communist Parties and Marxist Centers, which were supposed to provide valid and reliable answers, avoided this and, for that reason, citizens avoid them as well.

The book proclaims that the Left of the 21st century is absolutely: Democratic, Liberal, European, Developmental, Just, Peaceful, Innovative, and Reformist. For the Left of the 21st century, the era of cannibalism and man-eating is over.
