1. Spirit of 1848.

Due to the arrogance and abuses of the ruling classes, Europe and the US may soon approximate conditions right before 1848. In that year, nearly every country in Europe was rocked by revolts and uprisings.

2. The revolt began in February 1848 in France. All over Europe, the basic demands were the same: nationalism, reform of antiquated feudal structures, anger at the political leadership, freedom of the press, etc.

3. Ultimately, around 50 countries were affected. Tens of thousands were killed, a sobering realization. Anyone who thinks that the greedy, selfish elites will grant reforms from the goodness of their hearts, is deluding himself.
