End of history proponents in late 20th century: "LIBERAL DEMOCRACIES AND CAPITALIST MARKETS WILL BRING PEACE AND STABILITY BRO I SWEAR JUST GIVE IT TIME"
Lenin rolling in his grave looking at the growing tensions in the entire world as a consequence of Imperialist tensions in the 2020s as he predicted it inevitably happens in his 1916 essay "Imperialism: the highest stage of capitalism"
His most relevant essay for the times we live in. Also my personal favorite of his. There is probably a connection between those 2 things.
