Thought to ask this after a pointless and exhausting argument with liberals who are convinced that Trump being voted out proves that liberal democracy works and that Bernie and AOC are going to fix capitalism.

Surely as capitalism continues to decay and it becomes clear that the only possible futures are socialism or barbarism, there's going to come a point where nobody is going to believe that the Bidens and Pelosis are going to save us. I fully expect most liberals to embrace fascism when that time comes, but I've still gotta wonder... what's it going to take? What will be the tipping point?

    Yeah, revolution was stopped in Germany but was successful (or got further) in predominantly peasant Russia and China as well as whatever Cuba, Korea, Vietnam, and the various stabs in Africa and the Central and South Americas, were (settler-colonies that didn't turn into industrial places like the US did maybe?). It really seems that the core is too propagandized, too controlled to allow the room for a revolution to spark.
