历史的垃圾时间

Coined by the essayist Hu Wenhui in a 2023 WeChat post, “the garbage time of history” refers to the period when a nation or system is no longer viable—when it has ceased to progress, but has not yet collapsed. Hu defined it as the point at which “the die is cast and defeat is inevitable. Any attempt to struggle against it is futile.”

Imagine if you will;

A nation or system is no longer viable.

It has ceased to progress, but has not yet collapsed.

The die is cast and defeat is inevitable.

Any attempt to struggle against it is futile.

You have entered the Cool Zone.

And whether you will get barbarism or socialism, depends on whether the nation has built a proper Bolshevik Party.
