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 would say the closest historical precedent we can examine is the October Revolution and Russian Civil War period that saw the dissolution of the Tsarist empire, the break-away of sections of it that went on to form bourgeois nations, and the efforts the Bolsheviks of all the nationalities contained within the prison house of nations conducted in building socialist governments that went on to federalise into a union of Soviet socialist republics.
