Not for a long time. People will only willingly sacrifice their lives when they have nothing left. See Libya.

Inequality is pretty bad in the US but no one bothers to fight despite all the guns. Why don't you form a militia and force socialism for the poor and capitalism for the rich? Or just write erotica and end up in the richest 10% while playing with yourself all day?

Because the poor people with the guns think the real reason for all the problems are minorities/poorer people/foreigners/commies.

Hesitate, and you will be lost.
The rich people will just create private armies from the out-of-work poors, establish a pecking order with the more ambitious, power-hungry poors controlling the beta ones. We'll probably be setup like current day Saudi Arabia or have a society like in the book Animal Farm.

So kind of like democracy in the US. Watch it on TV instead of actually voting.

Truth is even though there is huge income inequality in America and throughout the world, most advanced nations have a standard of living and wealth well above their ancestors as recent as say 70 or 90 years ago.

Yeah they're better off except they can't afford or build a house now.

The following link is a bunch of poor jobs that would take 100 to 234 years to save up for a house.

Clearly they're better off.

yes now, but what happens when people cant work and literally cant afford food anymore? we're at the peak looking down a huge drop. and i don't expect the job creators to suddenly have a change of heart and decide capitalism isn't the way to go. they'll stop policy from changing even when hordes of starving people are banging at their gates

As long as you can keep poor people convinced that they're this close to being rich, and that it's other kinds of poor people keeping them down, never. You can always just pay half of them to kill the other half
