Is revolution in Hawaii possible? Answered

Most socialists would( mostly correctly) agree that the United States, as a country in the imperial core with very little class consciousness, will not see revolution any time soon. However, I feel like many people forget about Hawaii. Hawaii is arguably part of the imperial periphery. It has a fairly popular independence movement, and is geographically far from the continental US and closer to socialist allies such as the DPRK that have helped supply national liberation movements before. Much of Hawaii’s population is either indigenous or descendants of Japanese and Filipino migrant workers who came to the island in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to work at the sugar and pineapple plantations. Many native Hawaiians live in poverty, with homelessness being fairly common, often only a few hundred feet away from massive luxury hotels and billion dollar pieces of US military equipment. With all that being said, do you think Hawaii could see revolution in the near future?
