there is no real pressure from the left on any of the western political establishments, so they're all freely wallowing in chauvinist austerity with characteristics pretty much.

they're clearly more attached to their white supremacy than to their welfare.

I wish it weren't the reality that conditions must get even worse for revolution to happen. I live a relatively comfortable life so long as my parents remain alive. Once they pass, though, straight down the poverty hole. But too many people still see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires and not as systematically barred from wealth. Maybe conditions don't need to worsen if people were informed, but even where people are willing to teach, so many are unwilling to listen. I know there's that essay about how brainwashing isn't really a thing like we think of it, but I think it still has some truth to it.

possible under the current circumstances.

The conditions are actually great but the culture is absolutely rancid. If you look at the the circumstances leading up to the Russian Revolution, socialists were concerned the proletarian base was far too small in numbers and the country far too agrarian and detached from capital to bring about a revolution. What we have mown is a population that is overwhelmingly made of real proletariat as far as their relation to capital is concerned but and I’m sorry since this is such a touchy subect, white supremacy is so pervasive and takes such extreme precedence in American (including leftist culture) here that any proletarian revolution will be severly weakened. Yes, it is racism that is the biggest hurdle overcome. Class consciousness is actualky fairly prevalent lest it cross racial barriers and then suddenly people want to establish divisions.
