The Year 01

Today is yesterday's utopia - it has always been and still is. It's just sometimes difficult to determine whether today's date corresponds completely to the actuality of the calendar, which, like everything in human life, is nothing more than a social construct. What if humanity, for the first time in history, didn't change the calendar based on something that happened, but based on the decision that nothing else will happen... All proponents of conservative values and their liberal supporters in the form of descendants of the Party of Moderate Progress within the bounds of the law must be horrified by the realization that in the year 1973 utopian ideas such as climate justice, freedom of choice of sexual partner, sustainable development, or radical reduction of working hours and transformation of the form of work have become part of the most mainstream ideologically of late capitalism when companies compete in carbon neutrality and every corporation is the greatest ecologist, when political correctness demands that all genders be respected when we have Green Deals and capitalists themselves introduce home offices. Please, teach us all, voters of right-wing and reasonable moderate centers of the world, how foolish, utopian, and destructive it is to want an unconditional basic income, 4 working days a week, marriage for all, higher property taxes, communism... Similarly, the form of "mockumentary" recording of reality that never happened is now a classical repertoire of world cinema, which was bestowed upon the world by the French heritage of cinéma-verité with a touch of Chris Marker's political film essay (but less verbose and serious) and at times reminiscent of Peter Watkins' style.
