People don't like to hear it but from my perspective, especially knowing communists in other, much poorer countries, there is no base for socialism in the west and there won't be until things get much worse. Even most western radicals would change course if their material comfort was threatened, which revolution most certainly would do.
There was a great chart showing how the standards of living would change if wealth was evenly distributed across the world and I think Canada was the only one angalo nation which saw a neutral outcome.
I agree. I think if it was anyone it would be the national bourgeoisie. Right now there is a conflict between the national bourgeoisie and the international bourgeoisie. The international bourgeoisie has more money but the national bourgeoisie has more hard power. I think at some point the national bourgeoisie will overthrow the international bourgeoisie and we will see a period of fascism. That's when revolution will be viable. The state will lose its international funding and the "anti-state" natbourg will erode state power until it is a reasonable challenge for the working class. I could be horribly wrong though
