With every crisis, with every bit of imperilism that dies, the Statesian public becomes more aware of their chains. Media is only useful for giving people narratives they want to agree with, not for convincing people outright. The Empire is dying, and with it comes dramatic radicalization. Even looking at younger generations over time, communism is rapidly rising in popularity:
Quantitative buildup is reaching qualitative leaps, like heating water until it boils. It looks like nothing’s happening until suddenly everything is.
If you can use this data to forecast estimates, and popularity growth can be assumed to be linear, we’d be at least two generations away from a majority in the latest generation at that time; and another 2-3 generations so that there’s an overall majority in the entire country by then.
So it seems to be half a century, as an optimistic estimate, for there to be an overall majority, not including time needed for political reorganization.
It seems appropriate to conclude that someone living today shouldn’t expect the revolution in their lifetime.
Change does not happen smoothly and gradually either, but by leaps and bounds. Perceptions can change quite quickly once critical mass is reached, like water boiling after being heated, and this number does not need to be 50/50.

Let’s hope that happens, sooner rather than later.
