In the West communist parties are tiny compared to the rest of the population and have been antagonized for almost a century.

I literally don’t know one American irl that knows what communism and socialism actually are and all of them just think that both of those are bad

Kind of like this

I am not so sure that westerners will listen to communist even when they are doing a Revolution. I think that probably a París Commune 2.0 will happen.

    More of an observation that most successful revolutions or protests so far in history, where we have data for, had at least this many people.

    When I learned of this, it was used to make a point that 1% of a country is actually quite a lot of people when they get together.

      Alright, so 3.4 million people in the US’s case. That’s over a thousand times as many people as the group who stormed the capitol. Could work, I’d say.
