      revolution is easy to say on the internet but at the end of the day a lot of people die

        People die without revolution, historically revolutionary Socialism has come with dramatic improvements in quality of life for the Working Class. Taking down the US Empire would massively uplift the burden on the Global South as well.

            Read up on historical revolution, Socialist revolution has a great track record, and if the US Empire didn’t interfere it would be even better.

              the nordic states seem to be doing pretty well at riding a good line, and whilst australia is far from socialist, what we have is working great too

              accident? no of course not… but consistency… a big bang “revolution” is the easy way out… it’s so easy to say you’ll fight for what you believe in when you don’t have to see what it’ll entail or what will come out the other side of it but the reality is far more bloody and is absolutely not what you have in your head afterwards
