Lenin and Stalin were both uneducated peasants.

You're sounding like a liberal comrade :^)

The weakest link in the Capitalist grasp.

Most people are uneducated peasants. Sad but true.

Also it probably would have happened in America if Russia hadn't made it look so bad.

Emaciated peasants on dirt farms are not going to convince Americans that communism is the way to go.

Then again for a time we had that very issue.

It's going to be a few more decades before that's far enough back for Americans to think about it.

Everyone forgets the Dust Bowl

We're going to need another.

I'm not sure who is merchanting who anymore.

The lowest peasant can become the greatest leader.

I'm quite lucid about the dust bowl.

@MrSally >Revolution would have happened in America

Last time I brought the Dust Bowl up in debate, the guy I was arguing with laughed and said, "Those farmers were stupid, should have made natural gas out of corn or started drilling for oil!"

Absolutely.

Meant to post green text to make that sound silly because it is

Not silly at all.

Russia being so shitty was easy cannon fodder for American power mongers.

The fact is, the third world has much more revolutionary potential than the U.S. because of their poor material conditions

What

Are they strong in "spirit?"

This is why communist revolutions have almost never happened in the 1st world

Communist revolutions don't happen in the first world because Russia made it look really shitty by having really shitty infrastructure for thousands of miles with a couple of nice cities from centuries before.

@MrSally Nope, when you're essentially working for pennies and living in a hut, you're far more likely to engage in revolution than a prole in the U.S. who is living a fairly bourgeois lifestyle

This is related to material conditions

You're going to be so hungry that your revolution will fail.

Why would you engage in revolution when you have air conditioning, food, water entertainment, etc... etc....

Absolutely.

This is basic materialism

This is why the 3rd world has more revolutionary potential

You're sounding like a Bolivarian or a Maoist or something.

The revolution will start in the 3rd world and the dominos will fall until the 1st world can no longer leech off of third world labor to satisfy their degenerate consumerism

I'm not a maoist

The first world is driving off a cliff and only those outside of it can protest where it is heading. The West will not awaken until the car has crashed and there must be a new beginning from the remains.

but they're right about the 3rd world

Naaaaah

It's gonna happen without people even realizing it.

@Deleted User You're right, that's why we need to accelerate the death of the 1st world.

If what certain people say is true that today's millenials are receptive to Communism then all it might take in the US at least is to engineer something like what the GOP did and seize all local power.

I disagree with your extremism, but you have the liberty to say it.
