Would US separatist movements be possible and/or advisable? (lemmygrad.ml)

I was thinking about it recently, and this is just a random thought I had it's not well developed, but I was Watching something on the uptick in separatist parties in the UK, and given the massive geographical range of the US I was wondering if separatist movements would be helpful.

This could be any separtist movement, from Chicano and African to Indigenous to Cascadian. I just feel like independence from the US is a lot more feasible in the short term rather than some form of revolution overtaking the whole country all at once. But like I said, it's an undeveloped thought (although I would prefer answers more than "i love balkanization" and "America is bad so yes." It's less a question of "is hurting america good" and more "is this the best way to do it?")

Yes and yes, but not by communists, unless and until there is a real demand for it from a significant portion of the population. It's a question of strategic timing. If communists push for something for which the conditions do not yet exist, it would be counter-productive. Communists have to devote their time and effort to that which is most likely to advance the cause, and right now that is not separatism (except in occupied Hawaii and Puerto Rico).
