An actual revolution can't happen without having a cultural revolution as well, especially in a country with a culture like the USA. Many issues need to be worked though in order to have a revolution, such as the racism present in the working class, and all classes in fact, the fact that the American upper class lifestyle is only possible by plundering and looting the global south, etc. In order for a revolution to be considered possible in the average persons mind, and in order for it to succeed, a massive cultural shift is needed
I don't disagree with this but culture flows from material conditions.
Getting rid of material insecurity and domination over property and the means of production would go a long fucking way to fixing US cultural problems.
Plus, the worst fuckers this country has to offer will literally die fighting before accepting the new society. So two birds, one stone kinda situation.
I'd settle for just a revolution. ;)

I think that’s starting to happen. There’s a growing current of anti-Americanism on the left.
