It isn't 1917 anymore an armed uprising would justensure massive crack downs on leftist movements and a massive body count. Not to mention in first world countries abtaining the amount of arms necessary to even take over a city Hall would be impossible. More than likely the outcome of attempting such a thing would just give the right fodder to boslter their support by the public. I mean this did happen recently during the BLM protests.
Those protests as well as others are the reason the Conservative party is passing the anti riot bill in the Uk

I think you comparing the October Revolution to the BLM protests gives me enough insight on the level of your knowledge on revolutions. In the October Revolution a large part of the Imperial Army deserted to the Bolshevik side, and with the newly formed militias with captured guns, they were under the command of the Military-Revolutionary Commitee, which composed of ex-Imperial generals and commanders. You can google the deserted units, lots of people from the navy and the army started to join the working people on their side. I don't understand why you seem to think that the army is gonna be deaf to the cries of working people of their country. Especially in USA's case, most soldiers in the army are in the army because of student loans or other financial problems, they wouldn't give a second thought to desert when the time came to choose sides between the American people and the White House. I am not even talking about the countries that have forced drafts. Not every soldier is a killing machine without emotions, actually the amount of anti-war veterans have been rising too, even in the military, people are realizing the consequences of the wars they have been in. They are not loyal to the state, even though films and tv propaganda makes you want to think that.
