Today's Exactly100: Monsters?

“The old world is dying. And the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters,” says Antonio Gramsci.

Antonio, my dear boy, how could you say that? Kim Jung Un, Vladimir Putin, Xi JinPing, Donald Trump, the cream of the crop of today’s leaders – would you think of them as monsters?

Think instead of an earlier time: the Nazi holocaust and the Russian purges. Monsters, like Stalin or Hitler, murder millions for breakfast. Even Benjamin Netanyahu’s deranged company couldn’t match that.

Compared to them, today’s leaders may be just overzealous amateurs trying to be as deadly. /mdm
