Re: Should The West worry about a repeat of 1917 Bolshevik Revolution?
Prison sentences of up to 10 years for causing "annoyance" at non-violent protests or throwing tomatoes at a slave-trader statue ...
Impunity for undercover cops who rape the women they're spying on ...
Immunity from prosecution for people who use torture and commit war crimes in British uniforms
but yeah lets not bother with that happening today and tomorrow and worry more about a repeat of the Bolshevik Revolution where Lenin put hormones in the water and turned the frogs gay

I'm pretty sure we're all done with Communist revolutions.
Re: Should The West worry about a repeat of 1917 Bolshevik Revolution?
Interestingly the most oppressive, exploitative and murderous regime in the history of my little country is when out dear neighbours the British came to visit....
And stayed...
For eight hundred years.
But yeah, the Germans and Russians... They're a bad lot.
Re: Should The West worry about a repeat of 1917 Bolshevik Revolution?
A repeat of uprisings in general I would say yes, but as far as relating it specifically to the Bolsheviks? I couldn't say, as I 'm not aware of how that particular uprising would be the standard for the demise of the North American's continent of nations, USA, Mexico & Canada.
I bring the other two nations up because it would seem that whatever happens to USA will directly impact the other 2 countries.
Also noting Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome were not immune to uprisings,the differnce being governments back then were more theocratic, eventually a Republic followed & then a Democracy.
Add on Aristocratic, Monarchs they all had uprisings killing untold numbers, but none of them were based on ideologies like communism, socialism, let alone liberalism. They are just vehicles or conduits metaphorically speaking that brings such changes about aka revolution in the most recent governments, not all.
USA is destined to fall, but highly doubt it is possible that progressive democrats with liberal leanings can be identified as communists and socialists rolled all up into one-thus causing the fall all by themselves, that IMO is a narrative.
Plus we just had 8 years of Republicans ruling the House & Senate- for them to fuck that up- wouldn't be based on communism. Foolishism maybe.
We just had a Republican President who oversaw the losses of both houses-considering no one called the midterm elections as fraudulent, whatever the democrats may do to harm the country- one can be assured they earned it by the votes of the people. (electing our Legislative branch via midterm elections.
All nations fall and usually there is an uprising to bring it about, but are they always based on the same conspirators?:confused:
Generations later from the 1917 and on a different continent--- with different issues; this nation has no control of her currency (privatized), no control over her media (ran by money barons), lifetime appointments to our Judicial branch (judges loyal to ideology). Add on uprisings over racial disparity, gender disparity, class warfare; it is hard to conceive America's riots/fall or a final revolution would come about similar to that in 1917 -way over yonder! Just an opinion, nothing more.
