For me being in an organization the past few years and seeing how useful these kinds of demonstrations have been towards recruitment and building a real working class base makes it clear how crucial it is to engage with these protests. Tens of thousands of people were out there, knowing that the current system isn’t working, and many of them are open to new political ideas. Getting people to sign up for our email list was as easy as taking candy from a baby, and we gained nearly a thousand followers on our local IG page. I’ve honestly never seen such a crowd this receptive to socialist ideas outside of Palestine protests. Sure, this protest isn’t going to end up doing anything on its own, but the next big one we’re going to show up even stronger and have a bigger presence, and same with the next one. It’s all a process—we can’t expect a socialist revolution to happen without putting in the hard work of talking to our class, with all its contradictions.
