Pretty sure the empire will dismantle itself, like a helicopter that shakes itself apart. We just have to be there to take the empire-helicopter wreckage and make it into a socialism train before the fascists just make the wreck fly again by strapping rockets to it.
Maybe, but I'm of the mind that there's no roadmap, clear or vague, to the dismantling of Empire right now. What the US is trending towards right now is fascism, priming the population for war by creating an external enemy. I have very little confidence in the US left to reverse this trend.

Oh we absolutely won't. The trillions of dollars of weapons the state has stockpiled will either be used in an external war or an internal violent suppression of dissent, maybe both, but one way or another they're getting used. But with things trending the way they are now, I think that conflict will likely shake the empire apart.
With a lot of luck, the experience of living through it will also finally be enough to galvanize a tangible domestic socialist movement.
