Well, hang on to that headboard, chum. So long as workers desire a piece of the bourgeois pie, and it seems the majority do (the workers I toil with are like this), there ain't gonna be any "revolutionary" challenge to capitalism. Reforms, nips and tucks, assorted demands, but no sweeping rush up the palace steps. Not in the US anyway.
