Well the swine killed George Floyd.
If they kill him, protest is the only thing working class can do practically so gonna need to hit the streets.
As measured, obtainable, and realistic as your goal is, I fear it will be ineffective. Protesting is practical, safe, and easily ignored. One CEO gets popped, and suddenly there’s murmurs, unified, across the political spectrum. The elites need to know the sheer terror of writhing masses, wielding blunt and rusty tools, awash with unabated malice.
The next protests won’t just be people holding signs…
The Americans typically do not protest like the French. There are moments in US history with violence and I wonder how many people will continue to fly the The Thin Blue Line because the police protect the property and interests of the wealthy.
So we didn’t get justice system reform after the George floydd protests. This is the 1% telling us the next one will have to be even bigger.
They could be setting up to test their response. Floyd protests caught them by surprise.
I was always wondering how Floyd’s death got picked as poster child when there were matter candidates from PR/narrative perspetive for the working class.
Taylor was a nurse murdered in cold blood due to botched warrant by local PD when they were going after her ex boyfriend. There was nothing bad to spin about her unlikely Floyd. Floyd did get liberal site going but official right narrative worked on critical of right working class. It was divisive.

If they kill him they’ll have begun another American Revolution, this one freeing Americans from the evil capitalist scum.
Did you forget that an evil capitalist scum who’s only claim to fame is that he’s rich just won both the popular and the electoral vote?
I think a lot of you have forgotten who won the election.
Lenin’s coup needed 40k people. The Russian Republic had a population of 161 million people.
On a happier note, a single university protest against Stalin’s imperialism spiralled into events that briefly established an independent democratic socialist Hungary free from Soviet-Russian domination.
The question, if it gets to societal collapse and revolutions, is not “how many people can Trump get to vote for him”, but “what military strength can he get to Washington on short notice”. And it doesn’t matter “who has the guns”. It’s the US. Everyone can get guns at a moment’s notice.
Are you really comparing the conditions Americans are living under to the feudalist absolute monarchy under the Czar?
People in living memory were serfs at the time.
Lenin didn’t coup the Tsars, he couped the fledgling Russian Republic. The Tsar has been in prison for more than six months by then.
Nevertheless, the point still stands, a small amount of people can successfully overturn a government. If you need a more recent example, Jan 6th almost succeeded. Imagine if they were just as organized as Lenin’s people.
Not saying it would be a good thing.
That is utter nonsense. January 6th disrupted something that was essentially ceremonial.
All of our institutions are ceremonial. If everything went to plan there, and they only did not due to sheer incompetence, they would have blown up the capitol building and would have massacred congress people.
Many revolutions and massive nation changes have happened so quickly that many never saw them coming. The Berlin wall coming down, the Duvalier’s and Assad’s reigns ending are three in relatively recent memory.
The thing is that the rich and powerful often miss the signs, if for no other reason than they fundamentally believe they are untouchable … because they are, until they aren’t.
What I find amazing is that the rich and powerful continue to be blind to the history of inequality and how many elites are killed, been overthrown and/or have to beg for asylum in foreign nations.
The rich and powerful just won their election by popular vote.
This doesn’t change that.
The rich and powerful would also have won if Harris had managed to get elected. You may really care which party wins, but I doubt most of our oligarchs do.
You’re right, but a revolution seems to be closer than ever before.
Did Lee Harvey Oswald have kids?
Yes. Two. It would have taken you seconds to find that out.
Is there a point to your question?
Woosh. Forget it
Okay? Were you calling for more assassinations?
A weird thing to ask somebody online to be honest
