    Revolution is a response to current society failing. Revolution doesn’t happen because random people do it spontaneously, but is a result of declining material conditions.

    Unchecked power may not be pretty, but I fail to see what that has to do with left vs right. It seems to me that retaining Capitalist hedgemony for the sake of “balance” is just idealism.

      Well in a well balanced system the industry and high captial woudn’t have the most influence on politics. Redistribution of wealth can be archieved without bloodshed.

      In my opinion that is, I don’t think capitalist he d gemony is evil per se, only if it’s allowed to run rampant, which it does without proper checks and blances.

        Having Capitalism at all means you have outsized influence on the state from Capitalists.

        Capitalist hedgemony is evil because it necessarily grows and decays like a cancer, resulting in Imperialism, hyper-exploitation, and power consolidation in fewer and fewer hands. You cannot check it.

          I didn’t think we would see eye to eye, but I wish to do so amically.

          Thanks for the discussion!
