But what about the Lumpenproletariat?

Are they not the greatest evil to ever besmirch humanity, and certainly not the collection of humanity that has been most scapegoated by the hoi polloi that they try to portray themselves as with their vile, corrupting, behind-every-corner, tentacles of propaganda? I hear they even like to insinuate that they are the flock that Jesus was looking towards and tending to the most.

I think this can be settled with about 3 weeks in a drum circle, smoking weed and chanting barely-rhyming slogans.

The United States? Have a revolution? ROFLMAO!

Yeh, it's kinda hard to see the so-called Patriots putting the Rich up against the wall. They're the only people talking violent revolution, anyway, given that they're scared shitless of losing at the ballot box.

Sounds like you'd make a killing selling pitchforks and torches.

the PEOPLE will make a killing selling pitchforks because they will own the means of production!

The people disposing of the bourgeoisie will ends up making themselves part of the next generation of bourgeoisie as reward for their efforts.

I've always been a bit of a fan of drum circles.

But not in the way you think of them I guess.

after the revolution, how will we handle the bourgeois?

is exile a better option than re-education, or does neither go far enough?

Large portions of the US populace are super-easy to manipulate, furthermore does the avg. American not have time for revolution, unlike the "dirty liberals" elsewhere. No such thing as "revolution" if you work 3 jobs and have MUCH less free time.

It won't happen. We are too distracted with bread and circuses to do anything of real consequence. When we aren't being distracted, we are working umpteen jobs to keep the roofs over our head when it used to take one. This cycle can and will continue indefinitely..at least until the powers that be throw us one too few crumbs to fight over. If that ever comes to pass, we will be looking to the French for a few ideas...

I'd say the guillotine of course, but make sure they aren't making significant contributions to chemistry first.

They should be given a nice big top marginal tax rate and capital gains tax cut, obviously.
