I have come to the conclusion that the American working class will never achieve anything unless the United States collapses on the next 30 years.
I know I am being pessimistic and slightly retarded but I just can't imagine any kind of major revolution or even a fucking democratic socialist candidate being president on a Latin American country and even less on the USA or Canada. Not only because of the chokehold the imperialists have on all of America but also the cultural dominance on the continent on general, a good chunk people really believe on candidates like Abelardo on Colombia and the bastard of Salinas Pliego as a possible one on Mexico. The pure stupidity of the continent plays a role, the education in most if not all of American countries are either poor borderline non existing or pure propaganda, sometimes both. Most people on Mexico believe on just putting more effort to live a better life while refusing any kind of betterment on society because they believe "that is just what life is", and that's not only old people but young people also.
The young leftists there are are mostly only called leftist because they stand up for mistreatment of others or the genocide on Gaza, but when given the microphone they NEVER talk about capitalism, they truly believe this is only on the USA and Israel alone. I actually hate the lukewarm liberals, they criticize capitalism and it's effects but when given an alternative they feel it as too extreme.
There has to be a radical, like really radical change on this continent for any kind of leftist movement of any kind get's traction on the future, everyone is complacent and don't believe in a better future. The little others that do believe in a better future are either put into the liberal mind space by mainstream parties or any misfortune soul that actually believes on peaceful reform.
>>2831091BTW 1:17 in the video looks more menacing several years after it was made. Reaction lurking in the waters.
i don't know why people get this idea that societal collapse is going to be like a fun party or a moment of new opportunities or something.
have you ever played one of the simcity games and you screwed up and got your budget deep in the red and all your power plants and water pumps and everything shut down because they aren't getting paid and then the population plummets and all the buildings are abandoned and turn brown and your tax revenues disappear and you get even more in the red and you've already taken out all the loans you can get and all the buttons on the sidebar are grayed out and you can't build anything or do anything anymore and you're just totally irrevocably fucked? that's what the collapse of society is like. game over.
>>2831096You forgot to add the gigachad image
>>2831096Its not about what we want to happen its about what will happen.
>>2831102what will happen is the same thing that happens to every national government that goes broke and can no longer govern its people, and it won't be the meek inheriting the earth after the christian day of reckoning, it will other parties who do have lots of money moving in to do the governing for them, most likely in a way that you will like even less than the way the former owners did it.
>>2831080>unless the United States collapses on the next 30 years.30? you're so optimistic. Try 5.
>>2831105USSR was superior to tsarist russia. sorry.
There’s a revolution happening in Bolivia right now
>>2831119tsarist russia was not a nation, it was an empire and the so-called russian revolution was not really a revolution so much as it was an inevitable act of nationalization, the same nationalization that occured in the other european empires after the industrial revolution redefined the parameters of economics and geopolitics. bolshevik revisionism portrays it as a people's uprising, but the actual people of russia at the time were almost entirely poor agrarian peasants who were not industrial workers, knew nothing of marxism, were barely even literate, and had no agency or representation in the revolution at all. they were merely helpless bystanders watching from the sidelines (or conscripted to fight against their will) as a vanguard party composed of upper-class noblemen and middle-class skilled industrial workers went to war with the tsarist regime as a rival elitist nationalist party that presented itself as a populist revolutionary party. during the war the bolshevik army ran out of food and lenin responded by pillaging the farms destroying the agrarian economy and causing a famine that killed 5 million people, then came stalin who saw the independent farmers as a threat to russia's great industrial future and he stole all their land and turned them into slave plantations and seized all their food and killed/gulaged any who resisted, then came more famine and millions more dead, etc.
