If you are born 100 years earlier, but in the same place, what do you do with your life? In my own case, this would be being born as a Russian Jew in Ottoman Palestine in 1892. In such a scenario, I would probably try to immigrate to the US as soon as I could--and hopefully I would make it before the start of World War I. In the US, I would probably engage in various left-wing but non-Marxist labor and socialist movements and would also probably be a big supporter of FDR's New Deal in the 1930s. I don't know what kind of career I would have had--maybe a blue-collar one like most people back then, or maybe something having to do with political organizing for some left-wing but non-Marxist movement(s) and/or cause(s). I might have gotten drafted during WWI, but possibly not due to my arrythmia. By WWII, I would have been too old to get drafted. I would have supported the civil rights movement and the Great Society had I lived long enough to see the 1950s and 1960s. I would have also probably opposed the Vietnam War during this time. In the 1960s, 1970s, or 1980s, I would have probably passed away--unfortunately without actually seeing the end of the Cold War.
