>There will be and can be no mass movement in America like there was in Russia and China until America, as in, the central government, is either seriously diminished or destroyed.
I'm not sure if I agree with this. We have to build a mass movement regardless.
I agree with the premise that the defeat of the American empire will (or should) be internal - the alternative is a catastrophic world war which the US loses, and which is probably followed by American breakaway states and smaller civil wars. In my view, as a pigdog disgusting American, the aim of revolutionaries here should be to organize relentlessly and take over the organs of the American state while they still exist with a broad workers' movement which will then kick the corporate/MIC influences (and, especially, Zionists) out of power, release suppressed information about US state activities, and reindustrialize the US while reducing the military to a strong national guard… which will probably have to fend off coup (and re-coup) attempts by mercenaries and disgruntled former proxies and foreign-based US military officers. It's ideal that the state be seized before the final stages of its hollowing out have been entirely completed, although I'm obviously very pessimistic about whether we can achieve that it's absolutely what we should be striving for.
