I’m waiting to see exactly how many people have to be homeless and destitute before someone organizes them into a formidable revolutionary force. History teaches us that the elite elements of society are the only ones who initiate change by utilizing the indigent masses in revolution, and only when they themselves are experiencing economic discomfort. What sparked the revolutionary war in he US? Not the poor, but the wealthy landowners. The poor just suffer if they’re lucky, suffer and die when they’re unlucky.

How close do think we are?
My experience is that the working class is sliding into poverty, the educated middle class is experiencing scarcity and agitation, though now education is priced out of the reach of intelligent working people, so likely the generation one to two decades away from retirement now will be the last of their kind, intelligent people know that with student loan debt, low wages, expensive housing, and inflationary cost of living increases there is no path without an endowment. Endowments and investments are fueling the entitled elites, and they will stop at nothing to protect the corporate profits fueling their status so, yeah, quite a distance away…if we ever actually get there.
