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.

    I think it will take a large change in material conditions to affect anything. Market collapse and supply issues due to climate change to make the current problems look small in comparison. Essentially the treats need to stop flowing completely.

    I think it will look like "The Troubles" on a national scale with different groups fighting with an increasingly fascist government and maybe eachother. Maybe some Communist groups coalesce in this but Americans are so propagandized I'm not holding out much hope.

      Remember that anarchists are the best organized group left of center, and that in some places, Anarchism is synonymous with militant social struggle. There would absolutely be revolutionary coalitions in the scenario you describe.

        You're right, anarchists will certainly be in a position to grow since establishing networks of mutual aid and militant resistance to increasing fascist tendencies would be supremely important, and they're in a position to do both of those. That actually does give me a bit more hope.
