    Peru also has a US puppet in government so dismissing it outright because “gen Z protests” is weird.

    The original “gen Z protest” was from Kenya last year and it had a heavy communist involvement.

      Don’t worry that won’t change. It will be an even more hardline puppet who has less of an issue enacting even more austerity measures. The empire’s strategy is to squeeze the people to compel them to rebel. Astroturf it, capture it, and pass it off as “organic” in their manufactured media machine.

      What youth revolution has ever been positive? Almost every single one that successfully grows to that scale is manipulated, not run by the youth but by experienced organisers from the empire who are conducting the organising behind the scenes.

      Small youth protests are often cool, actually led by youth in most cases. But the ones that successfully scale up manage to achieve that only with the help of experienced older organisers.
