the world we live in seems unfixably fucked, but our ancestors lived through feudalism and kings for way longer and even made it through the black death without society crumbling to pieces, things even got better afterward!

The united workers of the 1920’s gave us this absolute gem of a verse:

"In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold,  
Greater than the might of armies, multiplied a thousand-fold.  
We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old  
For the union makes us strong."
