I agree. Even the Russian Left c. 1917 can trace their ideological and organizational roots back to something relatively minor (The Narodnik movement) 60 years prior. Decades where nothing happens, yada yada.
We just have the current issue with organization and agitprop, since both extremes ("Doomerism" and, to a lesser extent, optimistic complacency) seem to be prevalent right now in the Left.
