@Deleted User If someone wants change in America, they must speak within cultural contexts

2017-05-24 07:16:33 UTC  

or they will be belittled

2017-05-24 07:16:49 UTC  

being too radical, right wing or left wing, is political suicide

2017-05-24 07:17:35 UTC  

Who said anything about democracy?

2017-05-24 07:18:15 UTC  

revolution will not happen in America unless something very bad happens

2017-05-24 07:18:21 UTC  

worse than the great depression

2017-05-24 07:18:29 UTC  

and even then you have to wonder

2017-05-24 07:18:43 UTC  

will people respond with the far left wing or the far right wing?

2017-05-24 07:19:08 UTC  

Ask Marx.

2017-05-24 07:19:49 UTC  

Marx and Engels lived in a time period where their countries had children losing their arms in endless hours of factory work for little gain

2017-05-24 07:20:01 UTC  

America is not like that, so something very bad will have to happen

2017-05-24 07:22:06 UTC  

well for one we have increasing child poverty

2017-05-24 07:22:07 UTC  

You put too much stake in consensus.

2017-05-24 07:22:12 UTC  

increasing income inequality

2017-05-24 07:22:21 UTC  

an increase in interest in socialism

2017-05-24 07:22:34 UTC  

trump being president might accelerate things perhaps

2017-05-24 07:22:47 UTC  

not in rural areas

2017-05-24 07:22:52 UTC  

roughyl 72% of the country

2017-05-24 07:22:59 UTC  

i mean yes in rural areas when all those people lose their welfare

2017-05-24 07:23:15 UTC  

besides the party doesnt even have to be a majority to seize power anyway.

2017-05-24 07:23:21 UTC  

you underestimate the amount of distrust with socialism in the states

2017-05-24 07:23:26 UTC  

And way more people live in urban than rural areas

2017-05-24 07:23:42 UTC  

the rural areas are losing their population to urban centers

2017-05-24 07:23:43 UTC  

over time

2017-05-24 07:23:51 UTC  

urban centers of course being more open to socialism

70% of the country lives in urban areas friend.

2017-05-24 07:24:34 UTC  

here is an extrapolation for you.

2017-05-24 07:24:47 UTC  

that's worldwide, btw

2017-05-24 07:25:02 UTC  

Yes, urban areas are becoming more populated than rural areas, and perhaps these regions will be more open to socialism in the future, but they can also look the other way

2017-05-24 07:25:04 UTC  

so it's a trend all over

2017-05-24 07:25:06 UTC  

to the far right, and they already are

2017-05-24 07:25:12 UTC  

That's really untrue

2017-05-24 07:25:23 UTC  

the urban areas are the ones that overwhelmingly voted for clinton and overwhelmingly opposing trump

2017-05-24 07:25:30 UTC  

Americans have already been swallowing nativist propaganda

2017-05-24 07:25:32 UTC  

People like you would have thought a revolution in Russia impossible. You put too much stake in the status quo and too little in powers of change.

2017-05-24 07:25:42 UTC  

the only reason trump won is because of the electoral college handing empty states with like 1 trump voter handing him the victory

2017-05-24 07:25:53 UTC  

a revolution in Russia was possible because everyone hated the form of government
