Will the economy piss people off enough for them to riot?

The history books will record the Iraq War and the protests surrounding it, as definitely unique. The first time in history a mass movement of people were that massive prior to one bomb even being dropped, yet as the war in Iraq is in its 6th year and the Afghanistan war in its 8th, a social movement, a mass movement, a coalition to oppose these wars doesnt exist. There havent been any fire bombings. No strikes. No riots. Outside induction centers you dont have a huge number of people handing out flyers saying "dont go". It seems for todays generations of activists, activism is non existant. Or activism revolves, to them, around flyers, petitions, politicians and making "no war" signs and waving them around.

The economy however, on the flip side, seems to be affecting a large amount of people, its very personal, as people are losing their farms, houses, retirements, and life savings. And you have clueless politicians, who feel giving bailouts to multibillion dollar corporations is the solution, all the while normal average joes lose their homes.

The labor history, the labor struggle is rife with stories of riots and mass movements. Yet in all honesty the union and labor movement in the u.s. has been lacking for decades, probably since Eugene Debs failed efforts, and the Great Depression at least. That was the last time, radical labor politics was almost mainstream. Being a socialist in America was actually common.

So, what do you all think will happen as the jobs and the economy worsen? Will people do nothing, as they have been doing reguarding the war? Or will people start becoming radical, and start rioting?

I'd like to think people would rise up and do something, but I was the person in 2001 who assumed people would stand up to Bush and end the wars. And we all know how that turned out.

People seem pissed off as hell about the war, both wars are unpopular, with iraq being the longest war in american history, and it is also more unpopular than vietnam ever was. yet, people almost seem resigned to the war. People seem to be saying, "we disagree with it, but we feel powerless to stop it".

Will a major labor movement emerge?
