    There hasn’t been any anti-capitalist revolutions in the last 150 year.

    Maybe read a history book?

    I seems to recall the US losing a war to communists in the 1970s for instance.

      any

      I don’t think their point was that no revolution has happened but the revolution to change it all didn’t happen like he assumed

        Marx didn’t consider capitalists holding the world hostage with nuclear weapons

        plenty of successful revolutions did occur though, just not in places under the control of the ‘west’

        very chauvinistic view to hold IMO

          I mean the world revolution was already sorta stopped before nukes came into play. Maybe next time though, never say never

      The US lost a war to Vietnamese nationalists that adopted the trappings of Communism in order to get materiel support from China. They rejected it, and China, as soon as possible

            the Revolution hasn’t happened

            conclusion first, then cherry picked the points in history that supported his conclusion

            you hear those self-aware wolves howling?
