> When was the last time American cities were hit by anti-austerity protests?

merely 1,000 people.
After the DGB unions refused to endorse it, and DIE LINKE did nothing to mobilize for it.
The German working class isn't fighting for its interests right now. It's too busy helping racists like Thilo Sarrazin reach the top of the bestseller lists.
