the most youd get in your lifetime is country slowly becoming more pro union, and not outright uprising though. how far each individual union pushes will depend how strong each individual union is. youd need the cpuntries to get into utterdesparation mode for outright revolution, which is not very likely.
If the US is insane enough to actually force China to stop making our stuff etc, it can get real bad really quick material condition wise here.
i dont even think itd get that far, all it would happen is it would incentivise investment into other countries for goods. if you were gonna bet on SOME revolution, itd be in ~2060, and it will be over the potential water crisis if humanity as a wholendoes not solve water.
That's a strangely specific. At the moment we are seeing decades happening in weeks. The empire has already deteriorated greatly, and if they get the war with China they're hoping for they're screwed. China is the factory of the world and is probably not stupid enough to keep giving stuff to an active enemy. 2008 was quite the shock for the US economy. Another crisis is inevitable at some point relatively soon, and you can't bail out the banks forever. This is all not to mention the great prospect of more epidemics/anti-biotic resistence and the growing effects of climate change. At this point it is really socialism or extinction and capitalism's dying no matter what.
