American Revolution

So really, what are the chances of an uprising in modern day America?  Not only do you have police everywhere, along with National Guard/Reserves and regular military bases throughout the country, but anyone that dares to fight  is an automatic criminal/militia/fanatic/terrorist.  Of course that means you're judged by the very rules you're trying to overthrow... but what chance is there that someone could overthrow the country's entire rule system and start from scatch, or even have the support of the majority of the people who watch TV and see everything thtrough a filtered media that puts negative spin in order to dissuade the efforts of a revolution?  The problem is the majority of the population is content and complacent.  Revolutions occur when the majority is poor, pissed off, and tired of the current system.  It would require people to have no access to their books, television, movies, computers, video games, or anything else to distract them.  It would require wealth to diminish to nothing, houses to lose their value, and utilities and public programs to become completely ineffective.  I don't see any of this happening unless the US is assraped by the Middle East or communist Asia.

Wrong, 64 and 63 speak bullshit.

Of course in a 100% capitalism eventually monopolies would arise and become hugely inefficient bureaucratic morasses, but in a 100% socialism everyone would be given a house, a car and a large some of money for everyone, but then no one would have any reason to work and the economy wouldn't be able to support electricity and maintenance for the house, fuel and maintenance for the car and the value of money would deflate as no new products go into circulation.
