As pissed as I am about the current state of afairs, violent revolutions tend to turn into a total shit show real quick.
Revolutions are a response to material conditions. Typically it was already a shit show, then the revolution happens and it gets even shitter very briefly, before working itself out over time.
Usually over pretty long time. Hard to tell if nothing except for revolution would work (and it's different in each case, I guess)
It would be kinda funny if, in like two hundred years, historians refered to this time period as "The Total Shit Show."
It would be good if there we historians at that time. I'm turning a bit pessimistic as of lately 😞
