I'm involved with the communist caucuses in DSA and people definitely talk about revolution all the time, but lets be serious here Americans are incompetent and the left is barely just starting to get organized in some cohesive ways. We can barely organize a large meeting, what makes anyone think anything on the scale of civil war that happened in Russia and China would ever work here? Maybe if our hand is really forced at some point through some huge internal conflict in the US there would be no other choice, but our goal now has to be to organize the left and build up the movement in order to have some semblance of collective class power we can wield in some way and work to sabotage the empire from the inside. The US is sooner to break down and collapse in on itself than for some socialist movement to lead a revolution. Realistically we need to look at countries in latin america and what socialist parties there are doing today to really replicate some of their successes whos tactics and strategies can apply here too.
I think its understandable that people wouldnt be able to know whats to come, none of us here know either, theres only tactics and strategies to be undertaken to build towards collective class power. How that ultimately plays out isnt really in our control, theres just too many variables to know what could happen. Id say for at least 5 years its pretty clear what we have to do though.
