We could indeed be on the brink of something. The conditions are there but for what? Will we end capitalism, make a new system and try for a better world? Or will we fall into fascism once more?

Even if it's finally the day we move on from this system that keeps threatening to collapse on itself every 6 months... it's gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets better...
