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?")

I think that it would be good for the world if seperatist movements in the USA succeed, but I think that USian communists should focus on creating a communist USA. The Soviets also didn't break up Russia, but instead made a socialist state that respected regional differences. I'm not against these seperatist movements, but it's not us communists who should lead them. For example, I would support a capitalist Texas leaving the USA, since it would weaken the position of the USA.

Seperatist parties actually exist, like Alaskan Independence Party (conservative, libertarian), California National Party (socdem), Texas Nationalist Movement (conservative), and you have the Cascadia movement which is more left wing, but has some conservatives supporting it. I support these movements critically, but not over a bigger socialist USA.
