    The BLM protests of the past year are probably the largest protest movement in American history, people are definitely getting radicalized. Theyve slowed down recently but the struggle against police brutality is far from over

      Americans are having to basically relearn the revolutionary struggle in real time at an accelerated pace. It'll take time, but we will win in the long run.

        I checked wikipedia, and besides the 1970 earth day protest (which I know literally nothing about so no comment), the biggest protest in American history was the 2017 women's march. The difference between those in just 3 years is immense

          I was at both the Women's March and BLM. BLM definitely had clear tensions between the Liberal and Radical elements that I didn't see in the Women's march. It also felt way scarier because you know how mad the police were at the BLM.

            That's exactly my point, we've become a lot more radicalized, and the amount of BLM protesters were triple that of the women's march

              My small mountain town still has BLM and communist graffiti in the alley ways from last summer.

              Everyone I talk to understands the need for changes and it's to the point that I can just openly describe communism and lots of people that aren't die hard PMC libs generally agree with me.
