    Really, if there is a sudden turning point, where Eat The Rich becomes common thought, how long does it last? Is it over in a few days? Is it a literal class war going on for years? If the bottom 50 decides to take out the top 5, how long can it go on for?

      Depends on the country. China was at war for decades, Russia had several revolutions before the final revolution, Cuba’s took years, Vietnam’s involved war against the US as well. There are no universal conditions for that.

      Check out the Russian revolution. The extremists will put the moderate revolutionaries in the gulag or shoot them.

      Hey, when you’re 22 you know everything but your brain still hasn’t fully matured and you don’t have time for that kind of stuff!

      Death to capitalist oppressors! Let’s fuck!
