The COVID-19 pandemic began in Wuhan, China sometime
in November 2019. The virus has spread sporadically across
countries and continents wreaking havoc medically, politically,
and individually as it claimed more than three hundred
thousand lives and had virally infected more than four million of
the global population. This phenomenon has led us to confront
inevitable eschatological questions: Is this a sign of the end
times? Will this efface the vulnerable human race? Will this
disrupt the global economy as capitalism had collapsed
worldwide? Do these events signal a new political era, perhaps
the dawn of socialism and communism as countries worldwide
are led to confront its own deficiencies and inadequacies? Which
social and political systems and worldviews are efficient
particularly in this age of globalization? What are our chances
for human survival
