How many hexbears think there will actually be a popular revolution in the West in our time? (hexbear.net)

Genuinely curious. I keep thinking “it can’t get much worse without some kind of mass uprising” but the ability of the general population of Western states to just soak up suffering seems endless. Do you think we will actually see mass movements in the next decade or two? Or just slowly lurch into a void of ever-shittier liberalism?

By the West I mean like. Western Europe and the Anglosphere I guess.

There is always revolutionary potential, but to turn that potential energy into kinetic energy is what you’re supposed to do as a communist.
