Communism failed.

Liberalism also failed...

Perhaps the Chinese kind of "Socialism", a mixture of firm State control of the Economy with as many freedoms as possible, to take into account the unavoidable Selfish human nature.

Seems like the Chinese have discovered, after millennia of socio-economic experiments, a good combination of the best of both failed models...

After socialism and liberalism both failed to predict the future and got themselves burning, maybe the next stop should be "humanism" by which I mean resolving the problems around we humans, rather than moving humans through the inevitable historical trends into certain pre-defined destinations. The human species most likely will terminate some day in the future for unknown reasons. But until that day, we shall let the aggregate humankind drive rather than letting a few intellectuals drive the whole of humankind to the destinations they think humans should be.
