we do, but we do need a critical mass of people, our interests aligned, and to be prepared to swiftly seize the opportunity. all of that’s easier said, and needs a lot of work.
we absolutely expect revolutions to improve life dramatically
in the medium-long term though, right? I don’t really expect my country to be rebuilt overnight, but i can see how we’d start having something reasonable in the decade post revolution, if all goes right. socialism often has to be born from the ashes of scorched-earth capitalism.
easier to believe in the End of the World for some people than the End of Capitalism
preach. i think it’s one of our biggest obstacles tbh.
We do wait for material conditions to align (our own or our community’s). Movements needs a cataclyst. Not every moment is ripe for sweeping change.
And we absolutely expect revolutions to improve life dramatically - often simply by removing the corrupt oligarchs mismanaging the system.
But these are pragmatic approaches to economic management, not magical resolutions to human world events.
