i'm not entirely up to date with the politics happening in america rn, but it really does look like you guys might be headed to a revolution - material conditions go nyoom and it appears they will continue to.
Sorry, I'm stupid, I should have worded it better. I meant the chances of a, so to say, counter-revolution being successful in the end, because of the socdems' lack of conviction or any coherent ideology?
If you zoom out and look at the US as a whole, probably very high. The class character of the US is largely petit bourgeois, which is the most reactionary class. You really never know though.
they all had very little to do with the actual masses at that point (1905 in Russia, 1789 in France). fuck, the march on the winter palace was organized by the cops. like yes, the parties that eventually became huge already existed but they were relative non-players on political terms. that changed rapidly after the onset of the revolution as they stepped into the void and gained the credibility to speak for the mob.

Non-zero. Beyond that, hard to say.

nothing of the sort manifested until after the initial revolution in both France and Russia. I expect it will be much the same here.
