content: There are a couple of good explanations but here is one I like.  The Communist culture has been around for many centuries and even millennia but its current efflorescence is a feature of modernity and of what is called MPP - the Maximum Power Principle.  To explain, we begin with the idea that Modernity was created as a result of the fact that we have had a very extended period of energy surpluses: timber > coal > oil. Each form provides many more cheaply-acquired joules and so allows more centralized and complex social organization than the previous form.  When we have so much excess energy, we can do many things that were previously regarded as impossible or "against nature". A good example of that is flying in an airplane. When the current energy surplus disappears, so will flying in airplanes.  Other unnatural things can also be accommodated. Formerly, society agreed that "he who does not work, shall not eat". But the modern energy surplus has had for a few generations to this point has allowed society to survive despite the burden of a very large number of unproductive parasites. As it is a completely natural that any habitat abundant in resources for parasitism will produce over time not only numerically more parasites but a greater variety of parasites, we now have trannies, and feminists, and sociology departments and government agencies and immigrants and the rest of the huge cast of parasitic leftists. Again, when the cheap energy has gone, or as it fails, these parasites will DIE OFF. But energy failure and die-off are not in lockstep. First the energy begins to fail, or the parasite burden becomes too big, as the parasites over-consume, so the burden continues to grow even as the resources fail - this is called OVERSHOOT and is the state we are now in, and only following this overshoot do we get die-off.  And the die-off stage is coming. It always does. It is natural and inevitable. The only question is "when?".  ..................................................................... The role in all of this of MPP - the Maximum Power Principle - is deep and I can't summarize it but it appears to be an unavoidable characteristic of biological evolution that the battle for survival is won both those creatures that use not the least energy but the most!    In this way the concept of maximum power was being used as a principle to quantitatively describe the selective law of biological evolution. Perhaps H.T.Odum's most concise statement of this view was (1970, p. 62): “Lotka provided the theory of natural selection as a maximum power organizer; under competitive conditions systems are selected which use their energies in various structural-developing actions so as to maximize their use of available energies. By this theory systems of cycles which drain less energy lose out in comparative development. However Leopold and Langbein have shown that streams in developing erosion profiles, meander systems, and tributary networks disperse their potential energies more slowly than if their channels were more direct. These two statements might be harmonized by an optimum efficiency maximum power principle (Odum and Pinkerton 1955), which indicates that energies which are converted too rapidly into heat are not made available to the systems own use because they are not fed back through storages into useful pumping, but instead do random stirring of the environment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_principle
