Ready or not, the Revolution is coming. The oligarchy itself is creating the conditions which make that inevitable, although they don't seem to realize it.
It's not a matter of a trained cadre of professional leftist revolutionaries. It's a matter of people who are desperate and on the streets. And of those, we have an abundance.
Unemployment is at record highs. Many of those same newly-unemployed Americans have also now lost their health insurance, in the middle of a pandemic. Unemployment benefits have been slashed, and they weren't adequate to begin with.
Tens of millions of Americans will shortly be evicted from their homes. Any of those who are still employed are likely to be unable to keep their jobs as well. We are talking about whole families on the streets by the millions.
Meanwhile the GDP has crashed to a low heretofore unheard-of in America. Covid-19 is going to be increasing again in the fall, doctors predict. The jobs that have been lost will not be coming back anytime soon. All this can only drive the economy further into the ditch, increasing the number of unemployed and desperate even more.
These are the conditions which came within a hair's breadth of creating a socialist revolution in America during the Great Depression. FDR was only able to forestall that revolution with the New Deal, but in this case the elite have blocked the only politician who was aiming to take FDR's role. Which means this time, the revolution is GOING to happen.
Unless you think that millions of desperate, starving Americans are going to quietly and politely crawl off and die somewhere? The recent protests show that that's not likely to happen.
The Revolution is coming whether you like it or not, and whether you think you're ready or not. Because it's not up to us. The conditions for revolution have been forced upon us by the oligarchy itself. With any luck, they will die for it.
