The Russian Revolution was successful at consolidating state power and building a bit of socialism for a few years before the civil war. I think a revolution in the US would resemble the Russian revolution far more than China or Vietnam or most other socialist revolutions that happened in a colonial context.
There’s the couple of places like the GDR that skipped civil war and replaced it with a world war and military occupation, which honestly feels more likely in the U.S. than a civil war leading to positive outcomes
Feels like something in North Africa, the Sahel, or West Asia coalescing into a new Socialist Federation somehow is exponentially more likely than USSA.
India is my preference. If India goes communist nearly 3billion people, nearly half the world, will be communist. The rest is inevitable. It’s the most valuable possibility.
I feel like that math adds up to “civil war” which is unfortunate
To my knowledge there hasn’t been a successful socialist revolution that didn’t include what you would usually call a civil war.

World War 3 creating the next large socialist state would fit with the trend of ww1=soviets ww2=china.

I don’t know what “fortunate” looks like right now. The future is ugly
