I don't know, the proletariat seemed to have plenty of time on its hands last summer since it was able to continue battling with police pretty much non stop for several months. You must not have seen all the violence (the proletarian revolution of sorts) and all the damage that occurred last summer that went on for several months all over the country. Is it your political bias that's causing a problem with your inability to see/acknowledge what we saw last summer or is it your eye sight, hearing or your memory associated with your age that's failing you? As far I could tell, you were able to see and you were fully aware of it as it was going on back then.(02-22-2021, 02:27 AM)Classic-Xer Wrote:(02-22-2021, 01:02 AM)Einzige Wrote: I love the assumption, coming from well-to-do (relatively speaking) members of the American labor aristocracy as populate this board, that a proletarian revolution would be immiserating.
For you, perhaps.
I think it would be both proper and fitting for the Democratic party and its strongholds to end by succumbing to a proletarian revolution myself.
Let's start by agreeing that any change this dramatic will trigger some degree of violence -- how much is still TBD. But let's assume that at least two sides are ideologically wedded to fighting to the end. If so, then yes, a proletarian revolution will hurt everyone.
FWIW, I don't see the proletariat revolting. I see the petty bourgeoise carrying that torch. The proletariat are too burdened to "mount the barricades", but a put upon class of small business owners like you might take it on. You have the grievance part down pat.
You should know by now that we're either going to fight to the bitter end or split the country and force the Democrats to make the same mistake as the British/Confederates/Imperialist Japanese did and trigger an all out war with all Americans. Like I said, the American right doesn't represent slavery or a monarchy/aristocracy or fascism/communism or a particular religious faith or any other form of a dictatorship. The Democrats do today. As I told Bob, the country isn't the same country as it was during our grandparents time. The country has more American believers today than it had back then. All the Democratic groups are doing now is setting themselves up for defeat/slaughter when America sets rule aside and takes its gloves off.
The American right represents American freedom, the American Constitution, the American flag, American values and core principles and the American way of life like it always has throughout American history. I don't care who wins a war between fascist Democrats ( the Woke's) and socialist Democrats (the urban social justice crowd/third world mentalities). If we're separated, we'll defeat which ever group wins or if we're not, we'll destroy both of them at the same time during a Civil War war. What's a dead billionaire or a dead heir of some billionaire of the past worth?
