Ah you say you want a revolution

Well you know, it's been here since 2020 and it changed the world

First, I offer my frame to fit the thesis: Michael Snyder who I enjoy reading and think of cordially as political screamer writes this interesting observation: The rich have been getting richer and the poor have been getting poorer, and this is causing all sorts of societal problems.  Thanks to social media, the poor can see the incredible affluence that the wealthy are enjoying, and they are deeply envious.  Of course it certainly doesn’t help that flaunting wealth has become one of the favorite pastimes of the wealthy.  Many of them love to post photos and videos of their luxury lifestyles on their social media accounts, and that is not a good thing.  Because times have not been good for most of the country.  In fact, a brand new study from the Federal Reserve has discovered that the bottom 80 percent have “lower bank deposits and other liquid assets compared to their status in March 2020”…

As of June, the bottom 80% of households by income, when adjusted for inflation, had lower bank deposits and other liquid assets compared to their status in March 2020. The decline marks a significant shift from the initial phases of the pandemic, where various factors, including government financial support and restricted spending opportunities during lockdowns, led to an accumulation of excess savings.

In other words, the vast majority of all Americans have been getting poorer.

Meanwhile, the rich have just kept on getting even richer…

Crane Briton -In his 1965 seminal book, ‘The Anatomy of Revolution,’ Crane Brinton conducts a comparative study of the American, English, French, and Russian Revolutions. In his study, Brinton examines the differences and the similarities across these revolutions, bringing his findings into what he calls “The Anatomy of Revolution.” The Anatomy of Revolution would later become a significant revolution theory.

Brinton explains that uniformities support the idea that historical events are not necessarily unique. Instead, uniformities can be systematically identified to predict revolutions. The first of the five uniformities that Brinton identifies is that societies are usually on the ‘up,’ meaning they are economically prospering before revolutions occur. Hence, revolutions do not occur because of ‘starving miserable people’ (Brinton, 1965, pp.250). People that are optimistic and hopeful start revolutions, not when they are hungry, people revolt when they are unhappy. When people hold a government to a certain standard, they expect a certain quality of life threshold. If the government does not satisfy those needs and expectations, they could be in a ‘pre-revolution’ state.

The second uniformity that Brinton identifies is “bitter class antagonism” (Brinton 1965) In societies that tend to have more ‘equal’ classes, more class bitterness exists. The bitterness is typically measured by economic, social, and religious factors. Therefore, the bitterness causes tensions between the ruling class such as the aristocrats and merchant classes and not between the general elites and the downtrodden (pp.251). This is due to the relatively similar ‘wants and needs’ of both classes. However, there is enough of a difference in which tension can grow whether it be because of what God “ordained” or the society’s cultures calls for. These economic, social, and religious restrictions hold down people of all classes. The struggle between classes exposes the “restrictions” or the entry barriers of each class and causes tensions between classes.

The third uniformity that Brinton notes is “the transfer of allegiance of intellectuals” (pp.251). Brinton observes that intellectuals start to side with ‘revolutionary groups’ due to discontent with the way their society operates. The discontent by intellectuals, and their want for change, means that they align themselves against the government.

Brinton identifies a few ways in which revolution is ‘accelerated.’ The existence of a ‘rule of terror’ (pp. 255). A rule of terror is governance by power, punishment, and the quashing of opposition. Brinton observed a rule of terror in the French Revolution where executions were widespread. This ‘rule of terror’ even reaches as far as prying into citizens’ everyday lives, regulating them, and controlling them. ‘Reign of terror’ usually goes hand in hand with ‘strongmen’ governments and religious governments. Brinton explains that this accelerates a revolution by fueling tensions to the point of no return.

Another accelerator identified by Brinton is, which he mentions is not as important as the former, is an industrial revolution. Brinton mentions that industrial revolutions occur at a fast rate, causing increasing development of the printing press, i.e., communication, which allows revolutions to be more streamlined (pp.260).

So, then since 2020 106 million unemployed maxing out credit cards, raiding 401k’s, a coup government and a State happy to use and terror and spying.

Was Bidenismo a revolution from above? No. A Counter-Revolution from above. Trump interrupted, derailed and plan for American communism. From the view of the Globalist this is quite unacceptable. So they organized a putsch.

Naturally propaganda disguised this counter-revolution. Ironically behaving exactly to the thesis of Crane Briton in regards to accelerators. So then what can we expect if this house of cards collapses? Civil War, but not class war except from above.
