Im in my first year of college in the USA and I want out of here. I feel like anything I learn in college here will just be exploited by capitalists if I stay here. Should I stay in college here or look to get out earlier. If I stay should I change my major from computer science to computer engineering. If I leave how do I actually get to china/ gain citizenship there?
Then you should understand that Americans aren’t unique in this respect.
Do you think if the average Russian peasant had sufficient treats they would have still overthrown the Tsar?
Of course not because you and I know that the whole point of giving the proles more treats is to prevent revolution. If it didn’t work social democracy as a movement would not exist.
Likewise you and I both know that as the treats dry up the proles become more radically-inclined. Americans aren’t special in this regard and it’s bizarre to act like we’re being uniquely selfish when this is literally how it works: treats or revolution.
How willing a people are to overthrow their oppressive government depends entirely on how much they’re able to stomach that oppression.
I was initially confused reading this because you’re not saying anything I currently or used to disagree with.
My mentioning of the U.S specifically was not to say that the U.S is entirely unique- although, I would claim that we’re in a more advantageous position to act in some regard.
