Relative to 2008, though, there's a ton. DSA is at least OK and they're in all 50 states with something like 200+ chapters and 90K+ members. They're also at least decently established within the political mainstream (they're seen as "far left" but not a joke). I think other organizations have seen growth at a smaller scale, too.
There's also a lot more awareness of the value of organization vs., say, protesting.
Yeah, but there also isn't really any org to channel anything into, either.

Yeah, the big issue with Occupy in general was inability to channel that energy into a structured org.
With unions gaining power and groups like DSA becoming mainstream, there's more places that energy can be harnessed.
