    Unless, of course, the French Revolution happens.

    Unfortunately I think the only sort of revolution any country in the “West” is likely to see in the near future is a fascist one. Things haven’t been going too great for the past N+1 years, so morons are flocking to the extreme right in droves because they promise easy solutions to complex problems – namely murderizing the fuck out of anyone who’s not like them

      Well, the French Revolution wasn’t really that goes for the people of the time either. It was an extreme event which punished innocents too. The eventual changes in society were the beneficial ones. The same is true about WW2 I guess.

        Yeah that’s true, their revolution did fail in many ways and basically just turned into more of the same for a long time
