Very interesting theory. I've never heard anyone relate present day United States of America to 1789 France. I think that it does have familiar issues. But I really don't think that America will have a revolution, or turn into a Fascist dictatorship. Sure it might seem like that to some people, but there is obviously a propaganda war going on in the news and the web.
A star and flag for introducing a great theory that should be noted by many on ATS.

America has not experienced too much upheaval yet in its History, so I guess its Americas turn.
I for one will not be moving back home but remain in Europe because its so much more peaceful here. You dont have a political pendulum swinging back and forth, hitting the angry crowds.

I think the psyche of Europe still remembers it's past. America on the other hand is still young so we have a bit to learn.

This is what I think is going to happen:
First...people will be angry with government.
Second....the people will go after the rich.
Going after government is nothing but a symptom. Government is corrupt because of massive amounts of corporate money and special interests.
Eventually...I don't know how long it will take....people will be going after them. You can only keep people poor for so long as they watch the rich continue to get richer.
Ideology can only carry people so far.....survival will take over.
