I like to imagine the skeleton is more of the Curse of the Black Pearl variety, showing that revolution is always lingering as an eternal undying threat under the surface.
And yes I'm aware I'm flipping the script on the curse here.

Doing the walking under the ship part with my comrades
the US empire wont be brought down by its citizens , its victims will have to do that . at best the inside opposition can cause problems or do sabotage
Maybe, but no reason to get lazy though. It's citizens are way more powerful and better armed than it's victims. They have way more moral responsibility to do something and who will build up socialism inside North America after the revolution, if there's no strong, organized left? The reasons to get out and organized are no where as strong as inside the empire and the excuses not to do it nowhere as weak.
No one will bother to come and rescue US people from capitalism, if they don't demonstrate the will to at least take responsibility and rule themselves after. There's no way around preparing for revolution, even if you think it will rely on outside help.
The US citizens are among their victims.
