Do you think that a revolution will happen in the global north in the next 60 years? Or is capitalism that good to just keep kicking for hundreds of more years? (lemmygrad.ml)

Some hope? Yeah, 60 years is a lot of time for things to change massively. Much hope? No, while there is a raw desire for revolutionary change present within the US, it's in dire need of being refined towards a socialist direction and ruling class's grip is tight enough to not let that happen.

Hope is a misnomer. If people had no hope, then all would be lost, and there would be no point in trying.

I always say that if you never admit defeat, you can't lose. So never give up or admit defeat.

Refusing to give up, is the hardest part. The easier part is actually winning.

If you ever feel down, something to keep in mind is that even Vladimir Lenin never believed that a communist revolution would never occur in his lifetime. And then 1917 happened.
