Is the U.S. Ready for Revolution?
In the U.S., ignorance, confusion, racism and fear all combine to maintain chronic division, political blindness and movement paralysis: Ready for Revolution.
It’s easy to imagine that throughout the country many radicals are huddling and basking in the afterglow of not only the election of a self-described democratic socialist mayor, but also the tsunami of more than seven million “no kings” folks who rolled through the streets of cities large and small.
The growing mass awareness of the stark contradictions of fascism and oligarchy might lead some activists to believe the emerging movement against Trump can eventually make us ready for revolution.
While hope springs eternal for revolutionaries, the complexity of U.S. history and the popular culture suggest that our more optimistic comrades should manage their expectations before we are ready for revolution.
