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.

    So what? In Vietnam, the first communists started to show up in the turn of the 19th centyury, and after a long period where several parties and ideologies co-existed, the formal Communist Party was finally established. And then you have another 15 years to organize, agitate, and planning toward the 1945 revolution.

    Revolution is a long, long road, and for a lot of us, if we live long enough to see it happen, we probably won't live long enough to enjoy its fruits anyway. Just don't lose hope, because it will happen.
