Forgive me for being skeptical, but socialists have been predicting the collapse of the United States due to the working class awakening for over a century.
I'm not going to hold my breath.
- closewith 1y agoThat's a fair enough perspective, but your alternative future is an enduring oligarchy, so you should be hoping for collapse.

I'll happily take stability living under an "oligarchy" with relatively weak and divided oligarchs, in a country with free elections that can still effect change, even if it happens at a glacial pace.
