I’m on a flight and my air host hands me a glass of champagne, sees my Che Guevara t-shirt and beneath his breath whispers “communism will win”.

He asks me if I want a splash of juice in my glass. I said “just a side of Kulaks deserved worse”.

He smiles.

I say “are you a Western Leftist?”

He says “I just found out yes in my ideology.”

I ask “where are you from?”

He says “I am from Hong Kong.”

I say - “holy shit so how are you feeling right now - good?”

He says “I’d love to say more. I will just say I feel more hope than ever for the world. Hasta la victoria for all that you do.”
