The realist in me says nothing particularly special will happen, shit will just continue to get worse then by the time people do start waking up climate change destroys everything anyway. Like, its nice to think people will magically wake up but the truth is that living in the old way is still possible and will continue to be possible for a while. Revolution only happens when such a lifestyle is no longer tenable. A new war will always be on the horizon to break up capital when needed, a new crisis that will make people put off plans is always just around the corner. Revolution comes when it forces upon those who have no interest being involved in politics because they no longer have a choice to ignore things. I don’t mean this as a call to surrender or anything, keep up the good fight, keep trying to improve things and organize and educate, but its gonna take some amazing luck to actually turn this around in time to actually save our planet and we communists aren’t known for our fantastic luck.
