white made a mistake letting them get this organized and this close, but can they still win?

I'm curious about the analogy when it comes to pawn promotion. I'm thinking 'animal farm', if a pawn somehow makes it to the end they change color. Also I believe if acted properly white would win (given another rank of pawns, or pawns lined up touching the other pieces, pawns would have a much better chance).

Perhaps it's more of a banana republic revolution, where the people liberation hero becomes the next dictator, once the previous one has been overthrown
