It’s sad, but the same thing happened in Brazil. What made the retirement reform win there was basically the lack of resistance of the organized left (since Dilma had been ousted and Lula was in prison), lack of politization of this matter by the same organized left, and the big politization on the right side of the politics (austerity and free market discourse was in a height).

I think the (actual) left needs to do a better job in doing agitprop work in social networks (including places like Lemmy), to improve politization in the matter, and then turning that politization into mobilization. It’s hard to move around when you feel that you are alone, and you feel that the minimal thing you still have (your job) can be taken from you.
