To be honest, I think the best time the US should’ve become a socialist country would be during the Great Depression - the economy was going down the toilet and people are waiting to get by, but it’s gonna require word-of-mouth, an aversion of the Red Scares and such. The alternate history story “Reds! A Revolutionary Timeline” (wiki here) would probably give you an idea on what would that be like.
The best time was in the past. The next best time is tomorrow after a good night’s sleep, a nice hot shower and a healthy breakfast.
Word of mouth can’t compete with fascist corporate media broadcasting poison 24/7 to idiots. Radio, TV, “news”, web content. It’s highly orchestrated scientifically optimized propaganda.
If so, then what’s radicalizing like?
