So, in the US in January 2021, a mob tries to overthrow a Presidential election.
In Brazil, in January 2023, a mob tries to overthrow a Presidential election.
In Hungary in April 2026, a mob … doesn’t materialize, because how can you overthrow a Parliamentary election? You can’t.

#Marx didn’t have a crystal ball. None of this is a mystery. He used math, statistics, and science to derive theories, treating economics as a system governed by objective, tangible, traceable laws while utilizing historical and dialectical materialism.

SOCIAL REVOLUTIONS in France, Russia, and China emerged from specifically political crises centered in the structures and situations of the old-regime states. The events of 1787-9 in France, of the first half of 1917 in Russia, and of 1911-16 in China not only undermined autocratic monarchical regimes but also disorganized centrally coordinated administrative and coercive controls over the potentially rebellious lower classes. The revolutionary crises developed when the old-regime states became unable to meet the challenges of evolving international situations. Monarchical authorities were subjected to new threats or to intensified competition from more economically developed powers abroad. And they were constrained or checked in their responses by the institutionalized relationships of the autocratic state organizations to the landed upper classes and the agrarian economies. Caught in cross-pressures between domestic class structures and international exigencies, the autocracies and their centralized administrations and armies broke apart, opening the way for social-revolutionary transformations spearheaded by revolts from below.

Citizens in #NorthMacedonia 🇲🇰 consume media during election campaigns less than 2.5 days/week on average — among the lowest in the @cses.bsky.social Dec 2025 advanced release. Surprising? Perhaps not, given the broader disillusionment with party politics in the country.

Who should govern #NorthMacedonia? @cses.bsky.social data points to a preference for non-politicians: 🇲🇰 tops the Dec 2025 advanced release in citizens favoring businesspeople and experts over party politics. That speaks volumes about democratic quality in the country.
