The empire either needs to start crumbling or capital needs to start hoarding far more resources to itself rather than throwing its scraps to some workers of the imperial core before revolution is possible. We’re in a position now where both things are becoming feasible, we just need to make sure the ire of the people is pointed appropriately. Unfortunately, I think the imperial workers embracing fascism is just as likely as a socialist revolution, if not more so.
As much as I would hope most if not all of us socialists would be willing to accept a lower standard of living in exchange for ending imperialism, I don’t think the average USian is ready for the gravy train to end. The next few months are going to be very telling, I think.
