A legal election may be revolutionary in sentiment but it isn't a revolution. Marx's revolution hinged on one economic class pursuing its own interest and ending the oppression of another economic class, with an eye to ending the latter's very existence - the Bolsheviks immediately and by violence, the Mensheviks eventually and incrementally. I just don't see that model fitting American politics very well.

The very slogan "Make America Great Again" suggests that this election was not in pursuit of any turnover of society and the inevitable progress of history, rather it was an affirmation of what once was considered to be the status quo, fictive or not. That isn't at all what happened in 1917.

Yes, the article was about Marx theory about why there was not support for Marxism in the USA like there was in UK. Marx thought it was because there is social mobility here. And it is the progressives who try to regulate things which stifles mobility.
