The Cool Zone

In leftist spaces, a time period marked by a massive political, social, and economic emancipation as a result of a crisis arising from the failures of capitalism. i.e. , a revolution. Often preceding widespread abject poverty, increased socioeconomic inequality, an obscene accumulation of wealth by the rich due to their ownership of the means of production, a distrust in the current political process under which people live, and other social issues arising therein. Although specifics vary, many among the left believe that a worldwide seizing of the means of production and overthrow of the capitalist system by the proletariat is inevitable and will ultimately lead to social, economic, and political emancipation for the working class throughout the world. Popular examples of The Cool Zone include the August Revolution, the Cuban Revolution, the October Revolution, the February Revolution, the Spanish Revolution of 1936, the Zapatista uprising, among others.
