you don't know the future anymore than I. you don't know what the next revolution will look like or what would start it.
do I want to bet that you don't know the future? absolutely. here's a proof.

edit: oh fuck. I was supposed to bet something. how about a loaf of bread?
are you suggesting that Marxist revolutionary theory is a science like meteorology? it's not.
I'm saying they can't know the future.
They can’t perfectly predict the future in the same way that meteorologists can’t, but both beat a coin flip by a mile.
"predict" is moving the goalposts. i said they can't know, and they asked if i wanted to bet. i know that they can't know the future.
they can predict all they want. they can't know, though.
i don't really want the loaf of bread. please give it to someone who does though.
i figured if you lost a bet you wouldn't welch on it. and calling me tankie, when this whole discussion is about me opposing authoritarian regimes no matter how they wish to portray themselves, is simply dishonest.
