    i think some stuff could happen in europe, but the eu would be a massive obstacle. As for amerikkka not really unless amerikkkan imperialist fumble worst than they ever have i dont see it. But are communist revolutions even a thing these days all the socialist or leftist governments that came to power in the last 40 odd years have come about because of a combination of protests, voting and, just general civil unrest I mean when was the last non color revolution its been a minute. Feels like the age of revolution is past and we are in the age of coups and riots.

      Revolutions at their time are always called coups, riots, insurgencies as well. Although there don’t seem to be any successful socialist revolutions there have been some things that can will possibly be understood by history as “national liberation revolutions” in the Sahel states, for example. Haiti is ongoing its own struggle that could end in nothing, but could also be termed a revolution by history books.

      Good point. Do we need to organize to build a massive party over decades with underground newspapers and walking thousands of miles? Or will things just go viral enough one day after the capitalist governments have failed hard enough? Technology levels the playing field, but of course we need to do all we can to come out on top.
