Chinese symbol for crisis : danger and opportunity. US is in crisis . The dangers from the Bourgeois trump are exploding in just the first days of his dictatorship ; the opportunities for revolutionary change of American capitalism are , sadly for We, the People,through a the-worse-the-better gambit ! Woe is me. ////////////:////:///








"Nikolay Chernyshevsky is reputed to have used the phrase “the worse the better”, to indicate that the worse the social conditions became for the poor, the more inclined they would be to launch a revolution (though he did not originate the phrase, which predates his birth; for example, in an 1814 letter John Adams used it when discussing the lead-up to the American revolution[9])." ("Nikolay Gavrilovich Chernyshevsky[a] (24 July [O.S. 12 July] 1828 – 29 October [O.S. 17 October] 1889) was a Russian literary and social critic, journalist, novelist, democrat, and socialist philosopher, often identified as a utopian socialist and leading theoretician of Russian nihilism and the Narodniks. He was the dominant intellectual figure of the 1860s revolutionary democratic movement in Russia, despite spending much of his later life in exile to Siberia, and was later highly praised by Karl Marx, Georgi Plekhanov, and Vladimir Lenin.")
