Revolutions happen in times of crisis, right? I’ve never been super worried about a fractured/small US left because I don’t see some sort of economic collapse happening for a while. As long as there’s a party/org that has some dedicated + experienced members, people will naturally come once economic crashes make people turn to extremist politics, one of which will be socialism.
I don't see complete collapse coming, but I do think the coming winter will be up there with the 1930s. And I just don't see a rapid recovery in the cards.
I guess I can see it. I personally think the decline is gonna be slow and painful, unless something big like a war or coup happens.
Revolutions happen when the general population is so economically destitute that running into a soldier’s bayonet is a fine alternative to just sitting at home. Those conditions may not be met within my lifetime, but they’ll certainly happen eventually.
