Yeah, this is crucial here. We also had large protests in Germany last year. Once, maybe twice. Then everyone went home and let the fascists continue to take more influence and the supposed center followed suit and now the country has shifted significantly to the far right and the minister of interior is in open defiance of the courts to abuse refugee seekers.
You have to protest every week and if your demands are not met you have to escalate protests. That includes things like striking, blocking the police/ICE thugs from carrying out their oppressive missions but will also need you to fight back, if you are attacked.
Not keeping up the pressure now would be a great blunder, unfortunately one that many "liberals" or "social democrats" love to fall into.
I don't know if I'd lump in democratic socialists with liberals but I agree with everything else that you said.
Social democrats are hardly "democratic socialists" in almost all European countries. By now in countries like Germany or Denmark the "Social democrats" are Neoliberals with a hard on for authoritarian and racist policies.
Ah okay, I thought we were talking about actual social democrats, not LARPers.
Those are considered Leftist parties nowadays, not to be confused with Leftist parties (tankie edition).
