I would hold off on America's revolutionary civil war for a few decades, at the very least.

I think it's definitely possible, don't get me wrong, but give it some time; we still have a lot of work to do on the ground and people need to be more organized compared to how they were in 2020, which was haphazard in many ways.

Lots of energy, but still disorganized.

Yeah, I think the concerning part is that the right in US is much more organized than the left right now. They also have support from capitalists, making it much easier for them to organize, spread their narrative, and recruit.

The left is very much lacking organization right now, and there is no real leadership that I'm aware of, and Anarchists are actively working against any meaningful organization making the situation worse. Communists in US need to create a real party for organizing, education, and recruitment, and the sooner this happens the better. Communists also need to start building things like mutual aid networks, engage with unions, and build grassroots support.

Ultimately, the left will not get to decide when civil unrest happens, so it's important to start getting serious today.
