The protests changed me in a lot of ways. One way was, I was by no means a class reductionist before. But the protests really woke me up to the real struggles of oppressed communities in the US and importantly, the revolutionary potential in those communities. I remember listening to Rev Left in my car and had to pull over for a minute to absorb it when Breht said something to the effect of "what did white socialists in America ever give us?! Bernie Sanders!? Fuck that! The real revolutionary potential is with oppressed communities."

    It got a whole lot of people out on the street. I think that's definitely something to admire, and a huge source of potential. If even 10% of the people who were on the streets were part of a revolutionary organization, or even fucking DSA, we'd be in a very different place.
