Why a false hope? Whence this crystal ball into the future? Demos, slogans and lockdowns in public buildings are easy. Building long-term structures that don't become the mirror image of the institutions they're supposed to change, now that's the hard part. If the LP at least gets the radical unions to think politically, then it's doing its job.
