NSPM-7 is a big one! There is a surge in state repression against communists, as communists are waking up from their near-century of slumber in the Empire. Groups like PSL and even the DSA are rising, and as a consequence the state is enacting repression against them. BLM was very nearly revolutionary, but the organizing was crushed early on so as to become direction less, despite having mass momentum.
