What relevant country is the most likely to turn definitively Red within our lifetime? How will it be achieved, election, referendum, revolution perhaps? inb4 we get into an argument about whether over a dozen US military bases in Syria is socialist or not, I said relevant. A Socialist Syria isn't going to be a major breakthrough for the world revolution. I'm talking about a country the average joe would have heard about, so i.e not a Cameroon or Moldova. It doesn't need to be a major country like Germany or Italy, it could be a moderately noticeable country like Poland, or Argentina or something.
How's it looking lads? Is it too early to say for certain (everyone here knows the economy is going to the shitter hard within the next 15 years) or is another uprising just around the corner? It doesn't matter if it's MLM, Anarchist, DE LEON GANG or Trotskyism with Stalinist characteristics.
Tbh I think France has some revolutionary potential. They always seem to have these large, worker strikes/movements and what not. The other country that probably has the most revolutionary potential is India imo. Deplorable conditions for the majority of the people, Maoist insurgents fighting for over 50 years, and millions of supporters of communist parties. Surely *something* must happen eventually.

India without a doubt.

George Fernandes, Indian ministry of Defense from 2001-2004

These are fairly odd requirements; I'm not sure why the opinions of the "average joe" (by which you surely mean the average westerner, since I'm sure Nigerians would care less about Poland than Cameroon) matter in this instance. That said I agree with the other posters; India has perhaps the strongest communist movement of any non-socialist state in the world.

Keep dreaming chink, China's going full imperialist
Robert Smith
As someone who works in Shanghai I can tell you that China is in fact as imperialist/capitalist af.
There is zero social support for anyone or anything, socialism if it ever existed in China is dead.

Sorry, I meant the average joes in the country the majority of us First Worlders on this board inhabit
Why not? From my experience most people north of SF have the same worldview as someone like Jimmy Dore. Talking about Humbtoldt county, Mendocino county, etc.
Isaiah Fisher
Yes, because the Indian state has stepped up its repressions, fake encounters, ethnic cleansings of Adivasis, etc.
The fact that the Naxalites are still undefeated despite such a massive disparity in manpower, technology, and weaponry vs. the government should tell you the movement is not going to die any time soon.
Noah Cox
I'd say France India and maaaybe Spain(since France and Spain can't withstand another crisis and there's one coming, they either turn red or ded)
