Cagiest babushka in the land of the free

For Independence Day, I am reading a book called The Autobiography of a Sexually Emancipated Communist Woman. It is by Alexandra Kollontai.
Confession: I originally thought this book might be erotica of some sort. LOL American sensibilities.
Alexandra Kollontai is my new hero. Dyed-in-the-wool belief in Communism and human equality. Left her husband to work for the Revolution. First woman ambassador. First woman to be a top-level government official anywhere, let alone in Russia. Advocated social and economic equality of the sexes and free love. ♥ ♥ ♥ No, seriously, I think I'm in dead-person love. Read this. I think it is trufax the most idealistic thing I have ever read.

Do you ever think history went wrong somewhere? Like, there's an alternate universe where the major world powers got their shit together and world peace is the norm and the environment is not sliding down into total ruin? And what we've got now is some sort of aberration? Where do you think things changed? When?

Unrelated: This, you should read this.

Havin' a lot of fun readin'comments XDDDDDDDDD
especially about "vodka for breakfast"!!!!!!! hahahahaha, and they say that Americans are SO incredible in fighting for the sobriety, and Russians are SO great drunkhards! NEVER drink vodka for breakfast if you wanna have healthy children... just a kind advise and IMHO.

I haven't yet stooped to putting vodka on my cornflakes, although I'm sure it's only a matter of time :)
Yeah, Americans had to suffer through Prohibition, although most of the nation was brewing their own liquor or getting it illegally. It's usually just a small, vocal group of people who are very vocal about banning alcohol or drugs; the rest of us are drinking and smoking pot like there's no tomorrow. We just pretend not to. It's all very silly.
