Haven't we heard this same spiel for the last 150 years? The revolution is always one week away and this is a time-invariant statement.
But that's not the point.
You don't need an armed uprising when you have elections. You need populism. Trump / Brexit / far right parties are not "revolution".
Yes, and it worked out so wonderfully for them. :)
We have been more or less immune to this in the US for a long time because of our large and strong middle class that has had way too much to lose. But that's the same middle class that the elites are eroding by short-sightedly capturing an ever larger portion of the modern economy's output.
