Yup. And that's a huge huge market right now. People are lining up to be buy radical aesthetic and rhetoric sold by capitalists. Which is kinda good, it means that there's enough radlibs to be worth marketing to. A few will take the next step, the rest may follow suite as material conditions decline. Who's to say really? As annoying as they are radlibs are capable of being useful and further radicalization.
The lining up and buying situation is kinda what occurred to BLM, the movement was co-opted by capitalists and was just turned into an aesthetic and something to sell products for. My expectations were diminished when I saw that happening. But radlibs are very receptive to radical messages and just need to be made aware and educated about systems outside of capitalism.
IMO we're not at the point where we can really evaluate that movement. None of the conditions that created that energy have changed, and it's still there under the surface as people of colour are still getting murdered by cops constantly.

Exactly. This is pretty much the struggle of the modern first world left. To draw the conversation away from culture and towards the material.
