    My comment here is only about the pattern of political violence in the USA since the 1700s.

    Personally, I think a socialist revolution in the USA would save more lives than cost. I think this could be proved using logic and science.

    But, for all its guns, and suffering, the USA is politically stagnant. It is strongly resistant to change. Scattered violence would remain just that, and in itself could not be productive. At this point violence would only be counter productive for improvement of the working classes.

    So, that leaves zero options.

    I think the only way forward is evolution of the social networks to allow a replacement for local politics. Sparking interest in local communities again. It is only through social connections not yet existing, online, can there be hope for most American citizens. Or a solar flair knocking out the internet for all in the USA. Either will help change the social order
