    People die without revolution, historically revolutionary Socialism has come with dramatic improvements in quality of life for the Working Class. Taking down the US Empire would massively uplift the burden on the Global South as well.

          the nordic states seem to be doing pretty well at riding a good line, and whilst australia is far from socialist, what we have is working great too

          accident? no of course not… but consistency… a big bang “revolution” is the easy way out… it’s so easy to say you’ll fight for what you believe in when you don’t have to see what it’ll entail or what will come out the other side of it but the reality is far more bloody and is absolutely not what you have in your head afterwards

              and you believe a revolution in the US will help the third world?

              socialist countries are plenty capable of being exploitative too. a revolution doesn’t change the people - it changes the power structures

                  all of the above listed counties have very solid healthcare and are not entirely socialist. what’s your point?

                  socialism is not a requirement for being a place that treats people with respect and dignity; nor is it a silver bullet
