I know this is an impossible question, the future is chaos, but we can at least identify and discuss some key factors.

When I say "successful leftist revolution" I mean one that happens soon enough to prevent, or have non-negligible odds of preventing, the collapse of human civilization as we know it due to climate change.

In all likelihood I think we're fucked as far as climate change is concerned, but we should still try to improve our odds. There's no prize for correctly predicting that we're fucked.

    I agree with the general point of your post that were not near revolution and need to focus on working class organization, I just have a few nitpicks.

    And on the other hand to that, it gives 4 more years for the far right to become brownshirts and organize.

    You're right Biden won't slow this down, but the right has been hearing up for this seriously since Obama was nominated for president. There's a limit to right wing organization outside of the state apparatus in a fascist (or falling into fascism) country. Not to say they aren't useful allies of fascists, just that there's a limit to outside right wing organization.

    Richard Spencer is a grifter and has been struggling for money for a long time having been deplatformed as a Nazi, he endorsed Biden to try and get into liberal circles imo. Not for any ideology, but for the money.

        Yeah I completely agree, and that would seem to support that having a president that doesn't outwardly support them would be a detriment to them at least in the short term, no?
