I agree with you Charlie, and I would also like to add some more reasons why I do not think there will be a worker revolution in America anytime soon. I believe that the idea of private property is an implicit and explicit quality to American culture, and has always been since the founding fathers preached life, liberty, and property. Marx claims that the property of the working class has all but been abolished, and I would disagree. There are still many workers who own their own property, something they will not give up for an idea with a mysterious and unreliable future. Were workers to have absolutely nothing to lose, they would entertain the thought of revolution. But, many workers still posses a sense of ownership with where they live, and therefore would not be willing to dissolve all private property into communal property. 
Secondly, I believe that there is no way American workers will ever agree to move as one body. As this past election clearly shows, the country is still divided when it comes to national decisions. Getting every worker in America on the same page would require the most dire of times and a hopelessness that would be impossible to achieve. It's part of American history and culture to disagree, and I see no future where every American sees eye to eye with his neighbor.
