I was just reading the Wikipedia article on the First Red Scare (1919) and it made me wonder about a Communist revolution in the US.
Seems that the major successful communist revolutions (Russia, China, Cuba) happened in places where the government was rotten soft so it could be toppled.
That was not the US in 1919, but there was a series of events: The Seattle General Strike, two waves of mail bombings, the Boston Police Strike, the Steel Strike, the Coal Strike, all in one year. Combine this with a president who stroked out in Oct of 1919...
Idk, could it have happened?
And if not in 1919, then when?
