Revolutions are not instant. They are a build-up of years of a people or populous who have had enough. Society today is past-revolution. The social control appearing in China, a place where you think it would be most likely, will ensure revolution will never happen and correspondingly, the longevity of the regime. The Arab uprisings of a few years ago, the Arab spring was it called, seemed to lead to very little change, at least from our international perspective. However this geo-politics or whatever you want to call it has long been forgotten by me as I look to other things, I could very well be wrong.
A true revolution in this country is far from being likely, however it is maybe the thing that we need the most. Something radical to change the fact that we’ve been fucked by Tories forever and we still collectively pull the wool over our eyes. We still pay for a monarchy the vast majority of us don’t care for or even want. The person that stands up in the Scottish Parliament and suggests getting rid of it as soon as possible would be very brave indeed. Or at least a restoration of the rightful one! Viva la republique!
