Does get a toe in the door, though
It gets a toe in as the class consciousness develops, but im expecting a rapid growth of Democratic Socialism in the next 10 years, followed by a slow trend in that direction as they slowly chip away at the bourgeoisie. If the capitalists dont want to negotiate and purge the demsocs from political power entirely, then we are looking at balkanization and maybe revolution. They would be wise to allow it while taking it as slow as possible (possibly coopting movement to the left and stalling it out, but that's increasingly difficult because the US working class have more control over information channels, tha ks to the internet) .
My impression has been that a "class flare up" (not a full class war) domestically will keep the US government occupied and take the edge off of foreign ambitions. Hoping to see revolutionary movements prosper in the imperial periphery where we expect to see that sort of activity. The deeper aspects of socialism will likely be forced upon the US after everyone else has moved onward and upward (maybe in the 2060's?).
