Obviously it's impossible to predict it accurately, but we can make some educated guesses about what it will involve. No need to be rigorous, just throw some silly ideas out there.

    If it's in the imperial core, it'll arise because either

    (1) libs forget what it means to be a lib, get lost in learning ideology for the first time, and get turned towards socialism out of reaction to fascists and "centrism" because the contradictions become too great to treat centrism as a path forward. You'd see a sudden jump in socialist identity and could see the election of someone like Allende, but in a country like the UK or US, where the liberal strategy of isolating and destroying any country voting in a socialist would necessarily be in new territory. Shit would be difficult to predict until we're basically there.

    (2) We build socialism to a strong enough level (10-20% of the population), get organized (join a party), and arm ourselves. When shit goes down, we become victorious with the same rough strategies as everyone else: recruitment, organization, and eventual military dominance. If we do not organize and arm, the most likely outcome is getting systematically exterminated by American nationalists in a week.
