We do wait for material conditions to align (our own or our community's). Movements needs a cataclyst. Not every moment is ripe for sweeping change.
And we absolutely expect revolutions to improve life dramatically - often simply by removing the corrupt oligarchs mismanaging the system.
But these are pragmatic approaches to economic management, not magical resolutions to human world events.
It's easier to believe in the End of the World for some people than the End of Capitalism.
you added some nuance.
we do, but we do need a critical mass of people, our interests aligned, and to be prepared to swiftly seize the opportunity. all of that's easier said, and needs a lot of work.
in the medium-long term though, right? I don't really expect my country to be rebuilt overnight, but i can see how we'd start having something reasonable in the decade post revolution, if all goes right. socialism often has to be born from the ashes of scorched-earth capitalism.
preach. i think it's one of our biggest obstacles tbh.
