Will there be a revolution if the recession worsens?

Inequality provides fertible soil for the Maoism, and i believe more and more Maoism military groups will emerge when the Capitalism fail to cope with the crisis.

But where will the first gun be shot? Let's talk freely.

There was no revolution in America in the 1930s, and there won't be one now. As for elsewhere we will have to wait and see.

Precsiely. This is my view, in the West at least. Although a severe recession will probably lead to more wars.

How about one South Asian nation?
I know the Maoism is very strong in India and Nepal.

[Nick_Since_1985]

The maoists allready control Nepal, but you are right about India...

If it did happen it would be put down pretty quickly I think.

Depend on what country. If it's a powerful country such as US, it might be; but in a much weaker one, it might not.

Btw, even US and his NATO allies cant handle Bin Landen for several years. How can a single government depress a strong Maoist Party supported by the poor.

[gojira]

I go with Celente and say "yes", there will be a revolt with regard to the US. If you ask me where it starts first worlwide, it should be Simbabwe.

The power of the government and it's supporters, its influence of the people. Also money and the strength of the professional military. Peasants and farmers would be no match for trained infantry and tanks...

Oh and Bin Laden is very slippery, hiding in all his caves out in the desert. Ever tried to find a needle in a haystack the size of the Middle-East?

[gojira]

Bin Laden is dead.
What´s with that mao thing? As far as I see it, Maoism doesnt play a role in the west.

[crazyorc]

Both Maoists and the terrorists adopt the guerrilla warfare. It's not a pitched battle the professional army is used to and it is practical for the guerrilla who is weaker than the goverment army.,

Yes fair enough, they will resist for a while. But in the end the government has more resources, manpower and international support to outlast any rebellion. Only if key people in the government defect and manage to convince some of the military to defect as well would these rebels have any real chance to seize power and take control.

[crazyorc]

I dont refer to western countries solely?

In a government of corrupt and inequality, desertion is probable.

so the american army will have deserters?

The 30s saw the rise of fascism, who came to power in ways that closely resembles a revolution. May not be the best example you are looking for.....

Also, in many places, like Spain or France, communists became very powerful.

Yes, but they weren't outright revolutions. More authoritarian governments arouse which helped lead to wars.

[Heathen Hammer]

Probably in a couple od decades - when people won't have enough material wealth, and government would become more tyranical.

[Adrian]

In Europe or the USA no and i consider Russia as part of Europe too.

Now Asia ME Africa there is already instability there so revolutions aren't such a far out thought as one may think.

Generally countries with not enough military power to keep their populations in line may expect trouble.

[DeadCanDance]

I would expect more of a rise in nationalist forms of government (not necessarily fascism), at least in Eastern Europe and the Balkans.

A revolution in America and most EU countries is extremely unlikely.
