Organize, most obviously via unions and mutual aid networks. Lefties have a lot to say about how to fight back against capitalism; it’s just that nobody listens to them.
I’m taking issue with your passive tone, as if things just naturally changed all by themselves. There is one specific group directly responsible and we should name them.
Uh… They did work, unless you think labor laws and standards are the same as they were in the late 19th century. Then the workers of America stopped organizing so obviously it stopped working.
Interesting because I watched the American government in my time completely ignore every protest ever.
Black and brown people are targeted more than ever, queer people are immensely unsafe currently, labor laws are sliding backwards with children dying in meat factories and guns are still killing kids.
What did we accomplish exactly? Not much in over a century
When is the last time you went on strike for political reasons? Never? Well go change that and then complain. The people who did change things took on more personal risk than all acts of resistance Americans have done since Reagan combined. Look up the battle of blair mountain. Marches are, frankly, pussy shit that are only relevant if you want to meet people to organize for real resistance.

You mean unions? Because they did work, extremely well, for a long time.
they still work in many parts of the world
And why don’t they now?
Because the field changed.
Imagine if you continued to fight with a sword because it worked once. It is different now, there are guns.
No, they don’t work because they were systematically dismantled by Republicans for a generation.
That’s literally what I’m saying.
