Maybe I'm being too cynical here but I feel like America has essentially zero revolutionary potential. The entire population is heavily propagandized, all significant leftist groups have been dead for 50+ years, and for most Americans, things aren't that bad. They're getting worse, but compared to the situations that have historically spawned revolts (serfdom, mass starvation, etc) it's not that close.
It's possible in the future, but as of right now the other people in this thread are correct that local organizing and mutual aid is the most productive thing we can be doing.
