What hope for a leftist uprising in the US?

I realise this is somewhat like wondering about the likelihood of coming across a unicorn in your local park.

Nevertheless...?

About the same as they were when the Weather Underground thought revolution was just around the corner.

About the same as they were when Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman thought the same thing.

In other words, nil.

On the other hand, I would have said (10 years ago) there was nil chance of an authoritarian revolution in the US, and as bad as things were didn't foresee it changing much and yet here we are.

My perception from outside is that you are screwed! Probably the best chance would be if your country get split up into pieces, some more radical than others. But probably the reactionary parts would continue to torment the rest of the world anyway.
