Sorry for another reddit-based post, but today reddit held a poll: Do you want the United States to become socialist? Most Americans voted No, and most non-Americans voted Yes.

Reddit is just Reddit. It never represents the thoughts of a country. The USA would have tremendous potential if a bolshevik revolution would happen there. And there is also a reason why the actual imperialist hegemon is fighting that strong against socialism. This country is fucked, its really bad for the people there, so of course the superstructure is trying its outmost to repress, shaping the whole culture pro capitalist.
But things can change fast. I always remind how weak the bolsheviks were, but certain things turned it from the februar revolution to the october revolution. Lenin himself didnt belive in witnessing a socialist revolution, it would be a task of the younger generation. We know he was wrong with that. But exactly this is the reason why we need to study the bolshevik revolution in detail.
If the USA would witness a bolshevik revolution and then become the Soviet Union of Socialist States, it would be a major win world wide. I am sure the people of the US want an alternative, however the Überbau or Superstrucutre is so freaking aggressive, its probably even a separate topic.
