Not to mention that, but a large portion of the climate crisis is because of militarism. Look up how much fuel it takes to fly a fighter jet. Every sortie they fly is essentially a crime against the earth, before you even consider the toxic and unholy things they drop. Children in Vietnam are STILL born deformed because of an intentional campaign of chemical warfare waged on them by the United States and it's allies. Crimes like this must be constantly exposed to the people in order to break down the consensus around capitalism.
While America possesses a very high number of people who have a material interest in this system, a large portion of the populace does not. It is from these people that you must begin to organize, using legal AND ILLEGAL means to diminish, discredit and destroy the imperialist machine. You must organize to BECOME the crisis which causes America to withdraw from the world and abandon imperialism. Only then can the government be truly confronted and defeated. Otherwise it is too strong.
Stalin and Lenin were both very clear, there MUST be a crisis before the government can be overthrown. Ask yourself again, who provides the crisis?
