I’m sick of hearing about this asshole going out of his fucking way to prevent anything that would remotely benefit the working class. Sit the fucker down and tell him if he doesn’t play ball his ass is gonna get primaried. God damn the Dems suck.

    Certainly I have no idea how the future will play out, but I still don't think the United States in the 2020s is to the point of Russia in the 1910s, Cuba in the 1950s, France in the 1780s or just about any other left-wing revolution.

    This is also not to mention that a very significant amount of the population would more willing to go towards fascism.

      Oh absolutely. I would think that we are decades off that point. I should probably also state we're not neccessarily talking about a revolution or social upheavel that's any good -some sorta weird US brand of fascism is obviously a possibility.

      Mostly I was pointing out that particular lib theory about revolutions I have seen repeated in diff ways; that if you try and improve things somewhat for the poors they might expect more and overthrow you if they don't get it.

        Gee, maybe elected officials could take action that a majority of their constituents want.

          I mean on a very fundamental level that probably won't happen because the majority of their constituents are working class and elected officials in a liberal democracy are ruling for the borgousie and not the prolateriat.
