Recognizing that the US working class is beset with white supremacy & settler-colonialism, inundated with capitalist propaganda on all sides, and historically aligned with its ruling class' imperial and fascist desires is not a "third worldist" take, just an honest assessment.
The US is an open-air jailhouse of oppressed nations- that fact has been exploited by the ruling class since inception. The alliance particularly between white workers and the PB with the ruling class is as fundamental as anything in its political structure.
The division of labor between white workers and the rest, men and the rest, etc. is deep and cuts massively through any crude class analysis that might be applied to other countries or time periods.
Super value extraction from the various mechanisms of the imperialist financial-military complex adds an additional layer of complexity that hinders internal organizing and international solidarity.
And of course, the most robust and sophisticated propaganda machine in the world, a state-media complex that makes a mockery of any fictional dystopia.
This is not a defeatist analysis, just an honest assessment of the various structural hurdles to organizing in the United States and a necessary basis for understanding the alignment of class forces.
If you go back to the writings of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Fidel, HCM, Kim Il Sung, etc. you find a focus on understanding the present alignment of class forces, who are our enemies/friends, how to approach alliances and coalitions, etc. We don't think about this enough today.
And it's not to say that their situations were easier (far from it) but in the US the sheer multitude of internal class divisions on both sides is remarkable, the complexity of the adversary is very high and the tactical and strategic issues are very delicate.
