    Over the past century and a half, capital has largely defanged demonstrations and strikes. Just because it worked a century ago doesn’t mean it is relevant today (and even then it was insufficient, given we still live in capitalism).

      Thats very much inaccurate. General strikes and other riots have brought us most of the positive things we actually have. Capital is trying to „trumpwash“ the past to make it seem like its pointless.

      Look at 250.000 people marching through germany this past weekend and nearly a million since beginning of the year.
