&gt;The context of this thread is the idea that support for Bernie Sanders stems in part from the fact that if the injustices he talks about aren&#x27;t addressed, there might be an armed revolution in the US.<p>Ok, then is this an argument for or against that idea?<p>&gt;I&#x27;m sorry to say that but there is no real injustices in western countries. Everybody has food, education, a minimal healthcare and even luxury products like smartphone or TV.<p>It sounds to me like they are:<p>&gt;dismissing a complaint due to the existence of more important problems in the world, regardless of whether those problems bear relevance to the original argument.<p>But sure, maybe its a real argument.  Maybe campaign finance reform in the US doesnt exist as an issue, because when i go home i know theres still food in the cupboard.<p>Maybe because i can go to an emergency room if i get shot and they&#x27;ll care for me before knowing if i have insurance, that means that black people getting murdered by police officers isn&#x27;t an injustice.<p>Maybe given that i have a smartphone, ever rising costs of engaging in a legal battle dont favor the wealthy, and that doesnt represent a legal system based on economics rather than justice<p>Maybe since my country has a public education system and i was able to learn to read and write, that means that my country doesnt criminalize the mentally ill.<p>And since someone in africa doesnt have those advantages, any injustice they face is real.<p>I honestly cant see a way to read these comments that dont fit the exact definition of relative privation.  Are you saying that the other commentor was saying that campaign finance reform is not an issue because campaign finance reform is needed even more greatly in africa?  Or as you saying they meant an armed revolution is not possible in the US given that countries worse off are not engaged in armed revolution currently? Those are the most generous reads of the comment i&#x27;ve been able to come up with. I appreciate the discussion, have a good one
