To be fair, Jefferson basically said that the occasional revolution is necessary. I would not disagree.
The main difference between today and any time in the past is that the ultra rich are free to move all of their resources (and factories, and taxable income) to other countries with impunity. Where they did have to worry about a good revolution in the past- they are now free to vacation on their private island while the peasants kill themselves.
Where in the past the rich in England would march with their soldiers, that is no longer the case. Now you have the cowards ensuring that it is not their family who will suffer.
As I said- do support capitalism. I do believe that it has been by far the best system, and that it did wonders for the average person (yes, while it enriched the elite.) The recent difference seems to be the level of greed, and the ability for them to be free of consequences (see recent economic melt-down's caused by them.)
I don't know if revolution is necessary- but it is not a tool that should be ever be placed on a shelf out of reach...The only thing about a good revolution is that it is bloody, and that the outcome cannot always be predicted (nor is the most desirable outcome always guaranteed.)
How many times has the repair of capitalism been tried? amerikkka's limp wristed left always wants to "save capitalism". Capitalism in all arenas is the source of the problems in the world. Is it in your interest to retain this obsolete system of exploitation and injustice, or is it in the oligarch's interest?
