Now that I've got MY snark out of the way, I'll address you're OP. Revolutions are NOT "scheduled". Revolutions HAPPEN from the bottom up. There's are stages to a revolution, starting with a pre-revolutionary situation, evolving into a revolutionary situation, then USUALLY a dual power situation, evolving into a revolution. We are NOT in a dual power situation OR even a revolutionary situation. Hell, we're not in a PRE-revolutionary situation (like Greece). YET! We are however and IMO, in a pre pre-revolutionary situation which will inevitably evolve into a pre-revolutionary situation if things keep going the way they are. IOW, if the capitalists keep pushing us into neo-feudalism. I have no doubt that the ruling classes won't stop pushing. Ergo, eventually it will evolve into a revolution. Whether successful or not will depend on the organizing, educating, and agitating that we do RIGHT NOW!
One last thing as to timing. Lenin once said something along the lines of sometimes years go by and nothing much happens and then at times years go by in months. By that I take it to mean that when revolutionary events occur, they occur relatively quickly. Watch for it.
