There is not going to be any revolution without a rupture - in that sense decline is good. Decline also means a decline in the ability of the US to wield imperial power. This would be unfathomably good.
Obviously decline will at least temporarily decrease standards of living in the US, but a lot of the standards of living in the US are not sustainable anyways and these standards of living are unlikely to drop past the standards of the global south whose exploitation subsidizes these standards in the core. At any rate, this is a good reason to be actively organizing mutual aid programs right now, to build infrastructure to help workers support each other.
