Right now in Sweden, there are some really nasty riots (for any of you living in a box). Despite Sweden's reputation for equality, the rioting has exposed a fault-line between a well-off majority and a minority, often young people with immigrant backgrounds, who cannot find work, lack education and feel marginalized.
For anyone who knows anything about Marxist theory, Marx predicted the inevitable rise of the Proletariat (or workers), against the Bourgeoisie (heads of businesses). Once they seize their control of the economy they give it back to the community/people, and thus communism is achieved. In America there was a similar 99% movement with essentially the same goal, except that the protesters weren't intelligent enough to understand just what they were protesting. The point is that all over the world, the people are starting to rebel against capitalism. And that it was all already predicted.
And I'm not a communist myself but I do like to start conspiracy theories, so here's a new one.

You know if you write a load of crap some of it is bound to come true. Look at Nostradamus. Only problem I see here is that this was predicted by a dirty commie.

Marx was also a commie and by default wrong.

Theorized, not predicted.

What if from now on, all our civil cycle will be going from communism to capitalism?
