There are warnings everywhere but maybe these works are somehow too dense or abstract or inaccessible for people to spend the time on and map to patterns around them in real life. Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago is after all, a long read in its unabridged form. But warnings can also be found in more accessible places. For example various TV shows or movies or books (like The Three Body Problem). I wonder if those are a more effective historical education.
