Your revolution ain't coming bro get your head out of your ass.
As Capitalism continues to decline, and decline it must, revolution comes closer.
In response to both comments in the tree. This logic makes no sense. Having your finger cut off or your hand cut off are both unacceptable, but one sure is preferable. You can say "I don't like it! I don't agree to either", but it's just putting your head in the sand.
"Both sides" being equally bad is complete nonsense. The Democrats sure are a right wing party by international standards, and pertetuators of inequality and the status quo of capitalism, and US imperialism. However, you are blind if you think the Republicans aren't worse.
Stop having a hard-on for revolution, because it almost always ends up producing undesired results.
Revolution in the USA pretty much means civil war, and if you're being honest with yourself, you know it.
If you think dying from the climate crisis and dying from the climate crisis aren't equivalent, I don't know what to tell you. Same with World War 3 and World War 3.
Republicans are worse in some areas, yes, but both are unacceptable and need to be thrown aside, because there is no future under either party.
Entirely wrong, unless you are so legitimately detached from history that you'd support the Tsarist Regime, the fascist slaver Batista, or the feudal nationalist Kuomintang, etc. Proletarian revolution has come with skyrocketing metrics like life expectancy, home ownership, access to healthcare and education, literacy rates, and more.
When revolution becomes possible it will be because Leftists have organized sufficiently and in great enough numbers that it won't be, except for some fascist holdouts. Looking at the history of revolutions, this has always been the case.
