You know what the weirdest thing about that century is? The Soviets.
A sort of seemingly valid communal society seemed possible so all the other capitalism based ones had competition and as a result were trying to improve the life of citizens.
I'm starting to become more and more convinced that as real fear of Communism disappeared at the top, our systems are regressing to the mean.
This implies that the period with massively more centralized control of information had a truer consensus reality.
That seems… unlikely?
