How will the revolution come into being John?

A path to great change through the ballot box feels dead to me. I do not see any leadership on that front, only more suffering, more precarity, and more insecurity all wrapped in "joy" and "sunny ways".

The future looks increasingly bloody.

AGAIN!

You are correct the ballot box is a dead end for any significant change. Political alterations if they come will happen through violent clashes between citizens and the state either in general strikes or other forms of dissent.

The only violent clashes we've seen so far are when the fascists took to the streets last month!

And in the US, while 80% of the population struggle to survive, the lucky 20% embrace Kamala for her "joy." And some Americans, across all class divides, embrace Trump because they figure lower taxes will help them. I'm sorry you live in a shithole country.
