Maybe, or maybe it will spark a revolt by the workers.

[Proukunin]

I have a feeling that the workers will rise up against it.

Yes, hopefully the right-wing will come into power and roll back things like worker coops, popular councils, etc. that have been established in Venezuela.

Socialism seems much more attainable when the forces in power are much more overtly anti-worker instead of trying to empower workers and replace capitalism.

It's making us Floridians seem much more hopeful as you know to have the GOP destroy the union movement, for example, right?

[Rusty Shackleford]

everyone remembers the worker/farmer/student/peasant militias that were created in '09 right?

i feel they were created for just this type of scenario.

Florida's hardly a fair comparison, since R. Scott should be holding a gun to a baby's head and no one would do anything about it.

All I'm saying is you can't predict how these things turn out.
