I don't expect America to have a revolution anytime soon nor do I think it's the place where the global revolution will begin but spreading class consciousness, through whatever means, will always be a good thing. Yes many people are lost causes, it happens, but socdems are left enough that just a little deprogramming can drag them into the fold. This particular point is personal to me because I was that person. I was a Berniebro socdem who thought Scandinavian was pretty cool actually and also communism will never work because human nature and 80 morbillion deaths etc etc. I got better because I was confronted with my own contradictions. Had no one forced that interaction I would not be here.

I understand your pessimism but it will get us no where
