I am of the belief that revolution isn't going to happen, and if one did happen if would only be hijacked to maximize a select set of individuals authority. Capitalism has entrenched itself inside each and every single individual, much beyond the capacity of any one governments control in my view

I believe that the only solution is for each and every individual to reject capitalism, and opt out. That said it is not easy to leave the infinite monopoly game, I reckon sustainable self sufficient individuals or communities are likely the only way to achieve this and each community or individual will have to do this by their own free accord.

And even if there is a will to opt out, which will likely come from individuals almost exclusively, you need land and skills, land which is being brought up by corporations, skills and knowledge increasingly locked behind pay walls. And once you have gotten it all together, you are totally off the grid. Well you still have to convince everyone else.

Although as more people achieve this, the challenge drops. Once a few people have done it joining up gets easier, many hands make light work after all.

As for how to obtain that land and those skills, I suppose then it's a question of how much are you will to bend or break the law, or risk it all. The Governments role here isn't all that great, its just to make breaking the law less risky or not a requirement

But hell maybe I'm wrong and the revolution is well on its way.

At this point, I'm 50/50 on whether the revolution will be enacted by bots.
