Have the leaders of the Western nations learned the lessons of the recent past or are our nations just repeating history to our ruin?

From Historia Ecclesiae

"He searched for the cause of the greatest evil of the twentieth century. He found three words.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn spent years in the Soviet gulag system — arrested in 1945, imprisoned until 1953, then in internal exile until 1956. He emerged and spent the rest of his life documenting what he had witnessed and thinking about what had made it possible.
The Gulag Archipelago, his three-volume account of the Soviet prison camp system, is one of the most important works of the twentieth century — a work of documented historical testimony that, when it was published in the West in 1973 and smuggled back into the Soviet Union, contributed substantially to the eventual collapse of the USSR's moral authority both internally and internationally.
Solzhenitsyn received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1970. He was expelled from the Soviet Union in 1974. He lived in Vermont for years, watching the West from a distance with growing unease, before returning to Russia in 1994 after the Soviet collapse.
Throughout his years of writing and speaking he returned repeatedly to the question of what had caused the catastrophe of the Soviet experiment — what had made the gulag possible, what had produced the ideological machinery that had killed tens of millions of people.
He had examined the economics. He had examined the political history. He had read the revolutionary theorists and traced the ideas back through the generations of European radicalism that preceded the Russian revolution.
He distilled his conclusion into three words that he said explained it all.
Men have forgotten God.
He said it was not a religious formula. He said it was a historical observation — that the willingness to treat human beings as material for historical experiment, as resources to be expended for ideological goals, as creatures without inherent dignity requiring no justification for their destruction,
Eight years in the gulag. Decades of research and writing. A Nobel Prize.
Three words.
