One day you will wake up behind the eyes of a human being that does not have to go to work for some asshole profiteer.
Maybe they'll be enjoying a post-scarcity utopia where bigotry, disease and old age are all things of the past, maybe they'll be hunting deer and avoiding the last functioning police killbots in the ruins of DC. Either way this shit will be over, no longer even a memory.
I hope you have a good Wednesday. :meow-hug:
I'm skeptical of the idea that there will ever be a single, globe-straddling revolutionary period. That strikes me as just a secular reimagining of the Abrahamic notion of history as a moral drama, one that begins with the fall from grace and ends with ultimate salvation.
There will be starts and stops, victories and losses, whole generations born and died while capitalism decays and socialist upheavels alternately take root and flounder in different spaces. Eventually our descendants may live in a mostly-communist world, but even then I expect there to be capitalist holdovers much like there are still fuedal monarchies today.
Well considering how volatile capitalism is and how connected the neoliberal economy is globally, is it not possible that capitalism could he reduced to a non viable state fairly quickly (as in maybe 3 or 4 decades) via cascading supply chain failures and as a result, collapsing military power?
I guess anything is possible, but capital has proven relentlessly adaptable in the past. Unless the US itself collapses on the federal level, then all bets are off.
