Yes. For many years he was saying Russia will have to finish the bourgeoisie revolution, he barely even wrote about socialist one. Even after february revolution he did not believed socialist one would happen in years. October revolution only stared to seriously brew around june 1917.
Of course, let that not fool us. In Russia socialists were strong, even if divided, with years of tradition and many organizations.
And they also had unique challenges that we do not. Things are very different, absolutely, and we will have to learn a lot as we go along. But we will win. Even in a godforsaken place like the United States. Blood will be spilled, untold suffering will occur. But it’s going to happen, and I think we will have a chance to see it a lot sooner than people expect, I can see them barely, laboriously surviving this financial cycle but not the next. In the 90s, there was hardly any communists in America, it was a joke, a dead meme, an obscure hobby. Suddenly '08 hits and it gets legs. Ruthless suppression and yet there are probably more communists now than there have been in America for a hundred years, and it only keeps rising. Add in the empire’s death and its seemingly omnipotent weapons will shrivel up as our numbers only continue to grow.
