I don't know how many people believe that there will be but...

Way back in the ancient times of one and a half months ago, there were some people who thought that everything would keep getting bigger and bigger until you know what happened.

I seriously doubt that there will be enough people who seriously intend to overthrow the government and have the means to do so in just a decade.

Agitation. Organization. That shit takes time. I can't imagine the time it would take organize an explicitly socialist (not succdem) movement in America. Liberalism has a stranglehold on the populace and it's not letting go anytime soon. The road to revolution is incredibly long and we've just begun to (maybe) take the first steps.

A lot of people are pointing to the coming crisis that's going to result in a large group of disgruntled people with nothing to lose. But a disorganized group of angry people cannot spontaneously materialize into a revolution. What's more likely is the succdems will swoop in, kill Rosa a second time, neuter any movements, and save capitalism. I am basing this on the principle that nothing good will ever happen.

A revolution here would require a very high degree of organization and coordination, without which any movement would eventually fall apart, as it has so many times in this country.

Everything's so fucked man.

    You really can't know what will happen but I can tell you that there won't be a Chinese or Cuban style revolution.

    There are lots of scenarios. The US could go full fascist for a few years and collapse in on itself, it could balkanize, it could somehow pull off a WWIII win and end up with another Imperialist postwar boom, we could initiate nuclear holocaust etc.

      Kinda makes you wish you could grab some popcorn and watch it unfold from the safety of the moon.
