the only parties
Because of first past the post. Ranked choice would help greatly.
two far-right parties
Ranked choice would help. But do you think a large majority of voters are significantly further left than the DNC? Really?
I think the average opinion is between the two parties. So a socialist revolution would be against a democratic consensus. That means you wouldn’t be able to set up a democracy post revolution, because it would be unpopular.
Plus getting rid of the checks and balances is really dangerous in letting people like Stallin, Mau, or Kim Il weasel their way into power and consolidate it to stay there.

Not in a Capitalist dictatorship. You can’t vibe beneficial policies into place.

You cannot vibe policies into place.

There can be no revolution without the support of the masses, are you talking about a coup? Who suggested that?

Nobody argued against checks and balances, but against a Capitalist state designed to not fulfill the will of the masses.
A revolution in a democratic manner? We are taking about a violent armed revolution, right? For that, you need a military power structure, and big charismatic leaders to rally behind. There’s no way a revolution would try to hold fair elections while they are fighting.

A revolution inherently gets rid of the checks and balances. The problem is the time period before new ones are set up.
That’s why you set up the org that carries out the revolution in a democratic manner with checks and balances to begin with.
Please read theory.

Sounds like you need to read theory and history. Marxists have advocated for democratic organizational structures for centuries.
But they don’t actually put it in place because of the pressures during a revolution.
Pressures on the system from destabilization are threats of revolution, hence revolutionary pressure.
Do you think a democratic bureaucratic fully checked and balanced revolution would succeed in overthrowing the structure?
