Been thinking about it a lot, and how would people be able to communicate with each other if the forces of capital (huge telecom conglomerates) just decided to shut down and become dormant? Capitalism has such a stranglehold on society that we'd be absolutely fucked. What about our electrical grids? And to add onto that, you're probably facing the US military in addition to the militaries of all its allies
I don't know much about it, but I do know that Nepal had a revolution that occurred between 1996 and 2006. The victors successfully deposed the monarchy and a nominally communist party now holds power. I literally don't know enough about the party to say how socialist the place is now, but it did happen despite capital's wishes otherwise. That's admittedly right on the cusp of the development of modern telecommunications and Nepal really isn't a center of any imperial core, but I don't think it's necessarily impossible for a modern revolution to occur.
The Boliviarian revolution in Venezuela started in 1999.
Burkina Faso also had a socialist revolution as recent as the 1980s, which again is admittedly before a lot of current communication technology.
I think the conclusion I'm reaching is that us imperial citizens will see a revolution last.
