   For me, what caused me to have hope in revolution was by studying the theoretical aspects of class and class antagonisms which allowed me to understand that working-class revolution is inevitable, even if it doesn't appear to be. I recommend "The Communist Manifesto" for a short read, or "Das Kapital: Volume 1" or "State and Revolution," for longer reads.

     @Radical_EgoCom @donthatedontkill the rich are doing a great job of delaying revolution through driving manipulation and infighting.

     What does that have to do with my comment you're responding to?

     @Radical_EgoCom I agree that revolution is inevitable, but the timeline and in what way that revolution can go is a bit uncertain. I sometimes wonder if humans will even live long enough to see revolution. Statistics and tendencies are good ways of trying to imagine the future but they don't necessarily predict it. But in the end, all of this is very intellectual and my problem is one of the heart and not of the mind. If only I could get those two to talk more, things would be much simpler.
