In theory of course. And please refrain from telling me why a global revolution would not work.

    Revolutions are context dependent. You can’t have a global revolution because it covers too many contexts. Global revolutions that do happen will be based on the contemporaneous development of local revolutions, that is to say a global revolution is a descriptive bottom up phenomenon, not a top down one.

    You focus on your context. You figure out what that means. You do your part. Let other people do their part. You may find yourself as part of a global phenomenon, you may not.

    Also, think about what a revolution is. It’s a replacement of a power structure. Globally, you could have a revolution against the UN, maybe. WTO? IMF? But you would have to get through your local power structure first.

    So you focus on replacing the power structure in your context. Others focus on replacing the power structure in their context. And that’s how it goes.
