We are already in a revolutionary period and we don't know when it will peak. It's really hard to imagine some sort of communist party takeover of the US state apparatus at this point, but there are a lot of other directions a revolution can go.
I don't think class struggle will be confined to the history books by the end of the century. I do think there's a good chance of marked improvements in the right direction though, and some of those will have come directly out of painful insurrectionary moments.
It was hard to imagine a revolution in Russia. :xi-shining:
Victor Serge claims to have predicted the revolution when he was in a French prison. When WW1 began, he says he knew that the backward Russian government would never survive. But I think the revolution took almost everyone by surprise.
