"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

I dont think revolution is possible as the US currently exists. A political realignment or new era of progressive politics, maybe. But balkanization is much more likely than a revolution. Now, maybe within that there are socialist projects that are able to build from what remains. But I think the US will have to become more unrecognizable than what it is today.
That's not to say our organizing is for naught. We need to build our own political power and mutual aid systems in preparation for these moments.
And to your point, yeah, Lenin and Mao weren't dealing with the fact that every person has a little pocket spy that listens and tracks everything one does or says. They didnt deal with mass surveillance or algorithmic censorship on this scale. Communists back then had their own challenges for sure, but ours requires moving a lot differently while still trying to maintain our principles.
