Yeaaaaano. Most Americans don't even care about the current situation, and those that do certainly aren't going to take up arms. They're trying to get themselves elected vote Ron Paul to change the system and eliminate corruption.

I think it is likely. Government corruption is reaching an all-time high. If Obama wasn't black I'd say we'd already be up in arms (seriously, the people were on the edge of revolt when W. Bush was screwing us over but now everyone seems fine with being screwed over).

I'm all for taking an M14 to the pricks in power. I don't care about the puppets like the senators and what not, the men behind the curtain need eradicated otherwise we will end up in the same boat as before.
And note that most soldiers wouldn't be supporting the government. They would support the people, for they aren't mindless drones.
What? I never heard a single person say they were going to "revolt" against Bush. Being tired of screwed over and wanting to start a goddamn civil war are two entirely different things.

I don't think the proletariat lower classes of America (or any other country, for that matter) are organised enough to revolt against their government, especially not one that's so powerful in the first place. So no, if revolution does happen - which it almost certainly won't - it won't be successful. That I can pretty much guarantee.

Unless the Rage virus hits, then... hey, it's been nice knowing you and all, but we'll be closing the Goddamn airports faster than you can say 'diplomatic treachery'.

Why would there be a revolution?....... So pointless, pretty sure only a bunch of hipsters are saying yes.

There always has been a huge gap between rich and poor in the US, and this will probably remain the case for a long time. Also, I have the idea there are far more tensions there between people with different political backgrounds than between the rich and the poor.

Either way, unless there will be some kind of huge economic, military and/or natural disaster any kind of revolution in the United States seems extremely unlikely.

not any time soon, but if what it is like now continues, i could see a revolution in the future, same for all across the globe, possibly commumnism

Heeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaa.... no

People are too happy with what they have to be happy with. Rocking the boat is too much like hard work.

EDIT: IN THE NEXT 50 YEARS
If or If not, why?
No, because unlike a similar revolution over in France, the upper class are not the ruling class. The power is still equally divided.

*Pulls out Cellphone* Hello Excella? Yes I need you to drop in about 500 Kilograms of Uroboros over Canada. DON'T ASK WHY! JUST DO IT!!

Those Canadians have had it too good for too long!
-Cough- Mr. Golgo 13, I have a request ... I would like this man, Madara XIII, to be eliminated ... as discretely as possible.


On-topic: Why fight against the people who, I assume, are also the entrepreneurs creating jobs and behind a good portion of the workforce?

Do what you want, but leave Canada, your relatively peaceful neighbors to the North.. out of it.

Don't make us bring out the bear brigade!

Racial balkanization along the lines of Yugoslavia is far more likely, especially since cracking down against un-pc/nationalists/etc is illegal in the US, unlike in Europe with all their anti-free speech laws.

Democracies far apart the second you have more than one group firmly in charge, and both realize that the other can effectively vote themselves more goodies than your side.

No. For several reasons. First off, it wouldn't be a revolution it would be a civil war.

Secondly, you seem to have highlighted economics as the reason for this war, in which case, hells no. America's attitude towards its poor people seems at least to an outside perspective to be, clearly these people were not good or motivated enough to make themselves rich. The American dream is still that of the self made man and almost every facet of American society reflects this. You don't give relatively as much to charity as every other nation on earth, you don't think that poor people should be given health care or housing or in fact any aid at all, and any policy which comes the slightest bit close to 'help people with less money than you' gets immediately shot down as being socialist, I have never seen a country as diammetrically opposed to the concept of helping people who need help as America. If the poor ever did start a revolution all the rich would join in the peasant murdering, fuck it'd be like Medieval Europe all over again. (This paragraph intended mostly facetiously but seriously, America hates poor people more than anyone else I know)

Which brings me to my next, less ridiculous, point. The American Military. I know the Second Amendment is supposed to be this great equaliser and it means that 'the people' can stand up to 'the man.' But come on, be serious. They have assault rifles, you have handguns, they have a minimum six months training, you have accumulated drunken evenings shooting bottles off your fence, they have tactics, strategy, huge military computers, the combined efforts of the police, the secret services, the navy, the military, the air force, you have can-do spirit and a little grass roots thing going on. They'd steamroller everyone. This isn't the 1860s where every is as well armed and trained as the army themselves, the gulf between trained personnel and the layman is so great in America that you'd be lucky to even kill one soldier before the revolution was over. The Second Amendment's supposed original purpose has about as much relevance nowadays as the Seventh. Unless the military joined you but come on, why would they ever join a socialist grass roots revolution?

So there's two extremely good reasons. I do have more.
Actually, in most US States, you can own Assault Rifles if you have a license :p. But nevertheless, I believe you wrong for saying America hates poor people. I have come to the conclusion that we dislike them but if a documentary covering the homeless comes out, we will help them.

Doesn't seem very likely right now, but 50 years is a looong time. I mean 50 years ago the Vietnam war had not even reached full swing.

As long as you don't try to spread 'Freedom and Democracy' to Europe, then you can do whatever you want.
