Great take. We must ask ourselves: what happens the day after the revolution?
Well if we look at China, Cuba, the USSR, Vietnam, Laos, you get invaded/bombed by America.
But also continue to work really hard, but now your labor goes to bringing yourself and a billion others out of poverty instead of further expanding the power of the bourgeoisie.
When was the USSR, China, and Cuba bombed by America directly after their revolution?
The USSR was invaded by every capitalist country that still had a significant army after WWI. Bombing civilians in Cuba was just one part of Operation Mongoose. During the Korean war, Shanghai, Dandong, and Ji'an were bombed by the psycho Lemay. They are still somewhat sore about that.

Nice.
To idle along nicely, we need to reach about 800 revolutions per minute. So we need to increase our number of revolutions by about x1,100,000
(And I realise now I've inadvertently worked out that if I left my car idling for 24 hours, the engine would go through over 1.1million revolutions. Cool!)
Really, if there is a sudden turning point, where Eat The Rich becomes common thought, how long does it last? Is it over in a few days? Is it a literal class war going on for years? If the bottom 50 decides to take out the top 5, how long can it go on for?
Check out the Russian revolution. The extremists will put the moderate revolutionaries in the gulag or shoot them.
It's all a crab bucket in a crab bucket in a crab bucket in a... aw, fuckit.
Hey, when you’re 22 you know everything but your brain still hasn’t fully matured and you don’t have time for that kind of stuff!
Death to capitalist oppressors! Let’s fuck!
