    Yeah it sometimes feels like summer 2020 again, just less intense and more of a spread out discontent feeling. I know times are different and the conditions are different, but I try to remember that the Communist Party of China was founded with 50 memebers in July of 1921. By 1949 they had complete control of the country. The Cuban party was even smaller at its outset, only around a dozen people, and only something like 150 members during the mid 1950s when they were actively fighting an insurgency.

    Something’s gotta give eventually. I know there were other times in US history like this. Anarchists kidnapping wealthy people in the 1890s, the coal wars, Haymarket, the weather underground, giant antiwar protests against the Vietnam war then again against Iraq.
