I hope both are true: increased union membership and interest in Marx. I further hope that, as people wake up to the predatory nature of unregulated capitalism they also wake up to the fact that we've been feed decades of propaganda about capitalism, communism, socialism, and... much more.
There needs to be a snowball effect wherein people have an epiphany about the systematic lies they've been told about some things, and realize that systematic lies have been told about other things. For example President Kennedy's murder. Then they'll see things with fresh eyes and be able to connect the dots. I hope.
