We all know the hypocrisies of the pro- Israel stances, I’m not going into specific arguments but it’s just everywhere. Normal people seem to have bought in even quicker than they did with supporting Ukraine. it’s awful. Free Palestine.

    Remains to be seen how much material conditions have to deteriorate before anything happens, if ever. in and of itself sufficient humiliation + sufficient poverty ≠ revolution

    america definitely deserves a century of humiliation but any revolutionary movement won’t be born here, best we can hope for is a weak/collapsed usa allowing something to develop in the global south

      You’re right. Lenin listed three prequsities for revolution in State and Revolution. There needs to be widespread economic instability, widespread distrust in typical establishment authority, and an already organized leftist movement that has a coordinated vanguard party. Simply having humiliation and poverty without the third thing gives rise to warlords, fascists, cults, etc

        The ruling class also has to have the inability to govern as they used to. The problem is that Israel is staying on the course with operating with more precision and repression to maintain their status quo.

      sufficient humiliation + sufficient poverty ≠ revolution

      Sufficient humiliation is necessary but not sufficient. Arrogant chauvinist leftoids sure as shit ain’t doing a revolution with the people of the world until they have their worldview turned upsidedown.
