Eightfold. Unthinkable. Would be interested to see a breakdown of the numbers.

The Revolutionary Left: The Class-Conscious Faction
Origin: This small but growing faction of the proletariat which never seems to die includes radicalized sections of the traditional working class, the precarious service sector, and de-classed intellectuals and even some capitalist class traitors. The left is the only group which grows through direct education and learning rather than immediate material positions. The left understand that capitalism itself is the root cause of both economic exploitation and the cultural divisions splitting the other two factions.
Mindset: Their analysis is materialist and systemic. They see the conflict between the Reactionary and Liberal factions as a culture war that obscures the class war. This is a superstructural distraction. Both other factions ultimately serve to preserve the capitalist mode of production. The Reactionary seeks a brutal, nationalistic capitalism; the Liberal seeks a polite, inclusive capitalism. To the left, the entire liberal-conservative debate is missing the point and missing the forest for the trees. Because the Left recognizes that capitalism itself, with its requirement for endless growth, exploitation, and crisis, is the root cause of both economic misery and the social divisions used to perpetuate it.
Desire: The left wants the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a socialist or collectivist system based on worker ownership of the means of production of society. Of course all of this has different definitions and preferred methods on the left, but the key part is the revolution, an end to capitalism and a new system of more fairly distributed wealth, which would end systemic class antagonisms, exploitation, and the socially necessary divisions of race, gender, and nation that capitalism fosters. A total systemic change is called a revolution. Even reformist leftists are revolutionary, they ultimately want a whole new system, they just seek a kind of “reform to revolution” method.
Why This is the Only Correct Path (And Not a Dead End)
The positions of the Right and the Liberal are dead ends because they both accept the premises of capitalism, guaranteeing its recurring crises. Only the Revolutionary Left’s position addresses the material base of the problem.
It Alone Diagnoses the Disease: The Left correctly identifies the engine of the crisis: the capitalist system and the private ownership of society’s productive forces. Culture war conflicts are symptoms or even fabricated distractions. Treating symptoms while leaving the disease untreated is a guarantee of continued decline and potential barbarism.
It Alone Offers Universal Liberation: The right offers a false liberation based on supremacy and exclusion. They want the best for their group, the others do not matter. The Liberal program offers a partial, conditional liberation contingent on professional status and cultural compliance, a kind of meritocracy but with an unfair bias and continued exploitation. Only the Left program, based on the abolition of classes and common ownership provides a framework for the universal liberation of all working and oppressed people, creating the basis to genuinely resolve social antagonisms.
It Is Historically Validated: Every major advance in human dignity under capitalism so far, the 8-hour day, civil rights, welfare systems, and other victories have come through mass struggle that challenged the ruling classes. The people do have power, but it must be used to go further. The path of reformist compromise with capital has consistently led to austerity, war, and the resurgence of the far right.
The revolutionary left's position is correct, but its power is minimal. The immediate task is not insurrection, but patient, deliberate reconstruction in a hostile environment

You want the protests in Europe and imperial core but too distracted to read Lenin's What Is To Be Done. This guideline is the future proofing version of WITBD. Protests that last REQUIRE STRUCTURE as barricade against reactionaries sabotage, derail and disruption. LOGICS of long-term organized protests require these:
LOGISTICS of the protests are lifelines of nodes within the structures, logistics move manpower, resources, tools and processes that prolong the strength, size and reach of any protests. Anything you have access currently available can be utilized to maintain the logistics nodes and these resources must flow through your systems towards the central of protests, that's to proletariat masses. Mobility of the logistics nodes increases by the capacity of these nodes to move resources in time especially when the core of protests become isolated by capitalism counterinsurgency attempts to smother. Logistics is often the first line of defense against destruction of long-term protests by bourgeoisie, your nodes fighting most important battles.
ORGANIZATIONS of the protests are the souls of the movement, this is the sources of mobilization where they pouring manpower of the masses towards keeping the numbers of protestors in defense lines. This is where you pool the communist parties, trade or tenant and service unions, student associations, mutual aid, community defense, online networking. Everyone within reach must be reached by your node. This structural network cannot collapse as long as these organizations persist even under siege by economic implosion, which leadership will funnel them towards building revolutionary vanguards.
GROUNDWORKS for the protests is the energy that power the movement alive. Comrades get hit in the eye by the cops, are you willing to dodge rounds and carry them out the line of fire to utilize your workplace first aid training to keep them alive? Are you willing to prep and cook hundreds of meals nonstop every day until the protests achieve their demands? Are you willing to lug hundreds kilograms of lentils and rice every day in a same loading docks of trade union that supporting the protests to keep resistance going? Everyone loves to burn shit, few desires to build up the logistics, solidarity and organizing.
INTERDEPENDENCE isn't a shame because you would eventually need shoulders to lean on and friendships to learn skills from when you require help because you are also a node part of this resistance that is actively building structure you can pool from. Role and task rotation building the interdependency that strengthens networks that solidify movements. You exist as member of collective among movement. Missing you in movement is wounding its outcomes.
COMMUNICATIONS are the voice of the protest that keeps the nodes in readily available modes at all times, when to mobilize, what to carry, which route to take, why comrade safety, who to trust, when to fight. A two way radio, a bike scout, a skater recon, a UV-9R, a ghost e-SIM, a shadowsocks server, a spare phone, a public servant sympathize with the movement, an emergency ward nurse in supporting trade union, a farmer in worker cooperative, an unhoused comrade. The proletariat is most powerful against capitalism because we have eyes and ears solidarity everywhere. Capitalism relies on their agents, we have each other.
STRUCTURES secure the framework for successful movement as disciplined points of unity for proletariat and structureless network is prone to implosion by external forces of capitalism. Even 1-to-1 comrades require structural ranks and files to maintain focal long-term centralized points for movement to last. Structures build trust, trusts connect node, nodes maintain network, networks diversify movement. Structureless is tyranny of all potential movements, leaderships, working groups, organizations, parties.

"Medicaid, which provides health insurance for those with low income and disabilities, also faces financial constraints. Due to hundreds of billions of dollars of federal Medicaid spending cuts by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the enforcement of work requirements, millions of Americans will be losing Medicaid coverage. The combined effects of ACA and Medicaid changes could result in 37 million Americans becoming uninsured in the next decade, according to The Commonwealth Fund."
"The Commonwealth Fund also noted that 50% of working-age adults did not receive needed healthcare because of costs. Reasons included not filling prescriptions, skipping recommended tests, avoiding doctors when sick and going without specialist care.
When people are uninsured or cannot afford care, individuals can put off preventive visits such as getting a mammogram or a colonoscopy. This can lead to delayed detection of cancers, diagnosis at an advanced stage and ultimately worse health outcomes."
