I can agree with this.
Most activitists in the United States are in or around some church and church leaders like the ones near me do help or give a platform to, say, anti-war dissidents.
I don't agree with the retirement pension thing imho
We have been dealing with neoliberalism since the 70s and, you know, in a world where retirement is but a dream in a lot of countries, it hasn't really done anything.
It doesn't produce a revolution or revolutionary situation.
The problem is that we keep having "breaks" in the momentum (1920s Red Scare, Second Red Scare, the 1990s/2000s)
Hard to sustain movements and build them up if you keep having to rebuild them from scratch again.
