It's kinda understandable, we've only ever known the abusive relationship we have with our current fascist government so it can be hard to trust another even hypothetically
No one knew what that was. That's the thing. When the old system collapses, these are the natural things that begin to form in the absence of a capitalist monopoly on power. The communist position is to harness those and make sure they stay.

I wouldn't say "natural." Soviets existed in Tsarist Russia before the revolution, workers councils in Spain as well. If there is collapse without workers councils already in place, it's more likely to lead to fascism.

"Distrust in the government" = "Trust in revolutionary councils and emergent forms of proletarian dictatorship"

And worker unions and anti-fascist orgs exist in America. But America itself is just a small part of the greater global proletarian revolution.
