one does not oppose religion by laughing at its mythological claims, but grounding said claims in the historical and technological developments of societies.
Religion is a material phenomenon, it is practiced by humans through material activity, even its mythological claims must be undergirded by actual existing substrates.

different how? all guides to actions have outcomes.

Because this particular outcome hasn't happened yet. How can you write a guide to something which doesn't exist? You write a guide after you've actually done something.
it has happened, is happening, and will continue to happen on a productive and technological level though. The task is to make it happen politically and liquidate those classes obstructing its full realisation.
imagine: the post-revolutionary transformations (were they to have happened in England and Germany circa 1917) would have transpired relatively painlessly. But the classes holding power and blocking the extant pregnant possibilities were too strong, and resorted to the abortion (as a crude analogy.)
Hence the Russians were faced with the acquisition of political power in a country where the preconditions had not been sufficiently established. But this doesn't mean the russians should have allied with the liberals and cadettes (that's what the mensheviks believed.) Escape your own torments for once and try to think globally, to think internationally.

This really reminds me of Land now, although he'd say people should be liquidated as a species.
yes, and that's why we are at war with him. he understands, (intuitively if you will) more than most bourgeois intellectuals, where we are headed, ww III between America and the new emergent European bloc, although he cannot be fully conscious of it, and inevitably mythologises about transhuman fantasies like your average simpleton.
he is in fact, a case study for the liquidation of his class, which can no longer even have the basic outlines of where it is going because it has no more revolutionary possibilities left, not since the Portuguese were ejected from Africa. Hence his compasses spin like mad and whatever quasi-spiritualistic claptrap is used to augment this intuition that a third world war is coming.

Where does China fit in?
China is a racist foil. it mostly exports commodities and consumer goods, and the capital that it does export is minor compared to the US and EU (soon to become new european bloc).
Short term (US) long term Europe, most probably. It has been trying to do this for quite a while, hence it having quite solid links with new european right wing parties which serve to repolarise the political spectrum to bring a new left into existence. Not to mention Trump. Trump's biggest victory is likely to be el presidente AOC and her boyfriends legs..
nah, both will undergo a left liberal phase as industries are restructured and exploitation is improved upon (obviously I can't predict this with fine-grained detail) and then probably shift rightwards as war approaches. Or we could have a situation analogous to 1914 where the most extreme left capitalist party votes to join the war. That is certainly very possible, and likely.

Any kind of eschatology, be it religious or secular, is pure nonsense, since everything that exists and will ever exist, is based on complete contingency. Eschatologies are for intellectual cowards who want to ground reality back in all sorts of absolutes. And, yeah, you can trace it all back to this guy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_of_Fiore triadic structure and all.

If you mean that global communism is inevitable by 2050 (or something like that), then I'm sure tons of communists in 1925 thought it was going to happen by 1950.
And I agree with version that it all sounds very much like religious people predicting the coming of the Kingdom of God, or the Mahdi or whatever their equivalent may be.
