No chance if possibly only because the government would immediately crack down and boot lickers would refuse to stand up to the capitalists and government.
I think things would be different during a great depression.
Why would that matter to the people on top who can avoid the worst and control the police and government so thoroughly why would they ever allow something "illegal" like this to go unchallenged when they don't have to.
The mob rules.
Look how divided people are already. If you were close to starving, family suffering, do you think republicans and dems would get along? Not the ones I know, especially republicans. I know several that are ready for a civil war, actually prepping for it. One in particular I no longer associate with is hoping it comes to that.
I believe that we wouldn't come together because the people at the top wouldn't want that. They would stir up more drama to try and make the poor fight. That is what it comes down to. Make the poor war with themselves so the rich get ignored with their abuse of society. Always has been, always will be the motivation. Country, time doesn't matter.
This post had nothing to do with US politics. I believe communities will come together in crisis if shit hits the fan.
I respect your optimism.
