You're entirely ignoring revolutions that are inspired not by liberalism or socialism vs autocracy but by nationalism, and outside of the weird turbo tankies, y'all are super nationalist.

If there is a revolution in the US, it won't be socialist but fascist.

lol

19th century nationalist revolutions were bourgeois revolutions caused by the upper and middle classes feeling left out of the imperial centre. Unlike the Hungarians and Italians, the American bourgeois is not yearning to be accepted as equals by Viennese high society so I don’t see what conditions could bring about a national revolt. Hapsburg rule would probably be an improvement, and CHUDs would have to direct their military warship at the K.u.K which is pretty drat funny.

I do like Romantic era paintings and music though, so maybe we will get the chance to attend the premiere of Tom of Finlandia.

If you provide for more than 50% of their support (pay their rent, buy their food, etc..) then yes.

My MIL doesn't pay us any rent and we buy half the groceries so we qualify.

Not to mention they were operating at that level for decades before the revolution - they'd blown up Alex II and that was in the 1880s

isn't this kind of what's going on now? the younger generation is upset that the older one pulled the ladder up behind them, grossly retarding their ability thrive in society. there's a reason "student debt" is a large political issue.

unless you're saying that this new generation is so disenfranchised that they don't have the power and capability to marshall forces, which is almost certainly true; whereas, the older revolutions occurred because the bourgeois had a disproportionately smaller amount of power/influence compared to their wealth

Liberals bought into the conservative media revisionism that protests over the past 100 years were peaceful and flawless and that's why they got what they want. Whitewashing the hell out of the Civil Rights movement and union protests really took away the reality that it was a lot aggressive and uglier. How MLK is depicted vs how Malcolm X is depicted, etc.

I am not an accountant blah blah blah but as long as they earn less than $4200/yr in taxable income (most SS income is NOT taxable) and you provide more than 50% support (including rent, food, utilities etc) you should be in the clear

I’m only saying that 1848 and other national revolts were much more similar to the Colour Revolutions than Socialist revolutions. Where the Colour Revolutions were nationalist bourgeois revolutions to bring about a new neoliberal order, 1848 was the same for liberalism.

The nature of multinational empires meant that economic and political power was not just concentrated by class, but also concentrated by whatever nationality happened to be the imperial centre. In the case of the Austrian Empire (later Austro-Hungarian), the Germans broadly and Austrians specifically were in, and Czechs, Hungarians, Italians and so on were out. If you wanted to be a composer, you had to go to Vienna. If you wanted to be a general, you had to go to Vienna. If you wanted to be an intellectual, you had to go to Vienna. Even then, you might be passed over for Germans.

As an aside, much of the idea of a rivalry between Mozart and Salieri comes not from the lives of the men themselves, who by most accounts got along well, but from the later rivalry between German and Italian schools of music. It was emblematic - Salieri was Italian and had humble origins, a provincial outsider, while Mozart was German and had played before the Pope and Imperial Court as a child.

You can look around today and see how the PMC act when their ambitions are frustrated. That was pretty much the driving factor behind the revolts in the multinational empires. Decorum poisoned libs angry about the distribution of power and wealth, not the arrangement of it. The educated liberals in the cities got the lower classes fired up to throw off the foreign yoke because they wanted to be in charge, and they were supported by local capitalists who wanted a bigger piece of the pie.

Just like libs today, their #resistance was very aesthetic. Only paintings instead of pussy hats.





I’m a sucker for the aesthetics, but while the proletariat did much of the fighting and dying, it was also so the upper class spoke the same language as them.
