Yes, it's true, but Revolution doesn’t come over night and when it does finally come, it's also a long process.
Jesus will come back by the time a revoltuion occurs in thsi country.
The key is the masses and raising their level of consciousness, which occurs when their living conditions become less than pleasant, amongst other things.
The majority of people are content with where they are. This country would have to go the way of a 9th world country (sarcasm implied) before the people ever revolt against the government.
The revolutionary state of mind amongst the masses during the 60's and 70's certainly didn't come over night; it was a vast number of factors that led to that state of mind
Again, in that era, you had specific problems brewing over time, and these problems were brewing for over 200+ years. What specific probelms are americans CURRENTLY facing that will lead to revoltuion?
and as I have mentioned above, Capitalism is America is in a state of decay, which is why we need to invade countries like Iraq and other third world nations to get their resources.
As I have previously stated, "yes, this country is in a state of decay, but as long as the people are lied to and believe the lies it doesn't matter." Ask yourself how long have americans been lied to, and how long have americans believed the lies presented before them? If americans are kept from info pertaining to capitalism it doesn't matter if capitalism decays because the people will be too conditioned to come with anything else except for a new version of capitalism or something that has roots in capitalism.
Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism and is what is keeping us alive but it cannot forever.
All empires are destined to fall, but how hard they fall determines if they can come back or not.
The economy has rapidly been in decay and will continue to get worse.
Yet this info eludes the average american especially the working class.
Eventually conditions will reach the point were the average man is living uncomfortable, which then of course creates the desire for change.
The average man has been living uncomfortably since the great depression. The average man has been living uncomfortably since this country was first founded.
Interested enough to reply.
Again, a reply does not always imply interest.
If there is a god it will happen when I press the “Submit Reply” button.
Well, what happened?
No, not yet, but my point, in case you missed it, is that eventually we will have significant problems which in turn will lead to revolution.
By the time anything happens it will be too late and the people will be too weak and morally bankrupt to put up a fight. The ONLY way I can see a revolution happening
now is if martial law is declared as a result from an attack on our soil (more specifically an attack on our soil that destroys bank records, finances etc.)
I said in my original reply that Revolution in America is not possible now, but in the future it will be.
We are a materialistic people and our children have been conditioned to behave and think in the same manner.
*BTW, the Berlin wall was long after the failed revolutions of Russia and Germany that I was speaking of. I was talking about the many failed revolutions prior to the Workers revolution in Russia 1917, and the failed workers revolutions in Germany after the 1917 revolution.
We don't have any "problems" comparable to russia or germany, and the problems we did have were solved or pacified in the best manner possible.
I’m not sure, 20-40 years?
In the case of civil rights 400+ years before things took a drastic change. With Nam I would say 20-40 depending on your take concerning americas policy after WW2.
Right because the revolution failed to advance (there are tons of reasons why, if you’d like we can discuss those factors although it has little to do with the topic imo).
No, what I am listing has a lot to do with the topic because they were a DIRECT result of the so-called revolution that you claim was won on many different levels.
And again, I said that revolution will occur in the future, not now.
There will be no revolution in america in this life time (unless teh scenario I mentioned earlier happens) and there will be no revolution in the future.
there will be massive problems in the feature (possibly very near).
Massive problems like what? The government will always protect it's citizens, and ensure there safety. What problems are you talking about?
This is where you’re wrong. Most average Americans do not trust the government (look up any recent polls).
Yet the average american will go out and vote for the very same parties they claim they don't trust, and do
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BESIDES VOICE THEIR FUCKING OPINION ON A POLL.
Let them "capture" Bin Laden, or "win" the war and everything will revert to normal within less than a day.
Explain to me how capitalism, like what we have now in American, can survive forever? Even the most hardcore capitalist agree that it cannot.
You make it evolve. You do away with aspects of it that are not beneficial or popular with the current society, and if you need to take a pay cut in order to keep everything in check, you do so. However, due to the fact that our finances are not controlled by "us" (us meaning the people) it should be easy to keep the ball rolling for another 100+ years (not including Chinas stake in global dominance.)
5,000 years from now the human race will be the same?
If it survives for that long for the most part yes.
This is where I disagree with you and this is where I believe you’re ignorant and in need of further research.
You have the right to believe what you want.
I’m sorry you do not like that, but I wrote my message in a word document and left out some shit.
No problem.
Explain to me how Capitalism will not have a breaking point in other countries, when capitalism itself cannot continue forever?
Each country will take turns exploiting the weak for their gain, and the ones that are most prolific will rise to the top. What is driving China right now? Surely it is not socialism.
For the time being sure. But as I mentioned, there are a number for factors that can and will change the level of consciousness amongst the masses.
What are these factors?
At the end of the day (the end of capitalism), it wont matter what tools are used to control the masses because those tools will be useless (as I explained).
You speak as wine-bibber. Capitalism is in ind ecay, yet the average person does not know this. The tool will NEVER be useless as long as people are conditioned to believe and behave in a certain way. Listen, the game does NOT change. The only thing that changes are the faces and the players.
Two quick examples:
1). Vietnam War. The split in the ruling class was a). continue the war and b). give in to the masses and end the war (they did this out of FEAR that the revolution would topple the current system).
2). The Iraq War. Same as above, although to a much lower extent.
There was no split in the ruling class. Again, these people operate as one unit. Look at the current situation with Iraq. They say bring the troops home, but turn around and give them more money to actually stay. And no, the vietnam war was not stopped because they feared a revoltution would would topple teh current system. I mean seriously, who in their right mind would fear drug laden hippies?
The secret group formally known as the Illuminati?!?! The shape-shifting Reptoids!?
I guess, remember, you're the one talking about "the ruling class" so who the hell are they?
I have already explained that when the living conditions of the average citizen are so undesirable that they will want and even demand change (as they have in ALL revolutions in history).
Some would suggest the great depression was americas lowest point. How many revolutions occured during this time period?
Which is a current problem, but certainly will not be a problem forever.
It will always be a problem, and you're too brainwashed by socialism and marxism to see the reality of it.
Oh, I don’t know – massive unemployment, massive cost increase for basic needs (food, gas, shelter, water, etc. become unfordable, or nearly unfordable), lack of income, etc.
People have been hearing about these things for YEARS even DECADES now and what do they do? Continue to spend outside there means, continue to fuck off money, continue to buy big ass SUV's, continue to resort to crime instead of education (in some cases I don't blame them) etc.
