I think that socialism will spread to the third world, and then return to the second, and that the Anglosphere will be the last holdouts of the capitalist world as Europe flips too. I think this process will play out over the next century, and that every political entity that clings to capitalism will go full fascist and burn itself out before being destroyed and replaced with a socialist one.

So yes, but only after everybody else.

What if instead, we ended up going Cyber Punk?

We arguably do live in a cyber punk work already.

Correct, and it's the most boring cyberpunk world. I was told I'd at least be able to find a street doc to install some pimped-out chrome, we don't even have proper chrome here; never mind the street docs!
