I'm not familiar with the particulars of the events you're describing, but it sounds almost exactly like what Lenin experienced in the course of the Russian Revolution.
Revolutionary parties are not what spark or lead these spontaneous explosions of class anger and often times are surprised by the masses moving. The Bolsheviks were not organizing protests in 1917 and oftentimes found themselves behind the curve of where the masses were at. It was only after the formation of the Soviets and after Kerensky had severely discredited himself in the July Days that the Bolsheviks gained traction with the masses and were able to play a leading role in the Soviets, resulting in the October Revolution.
I'm not trying to compare where you are right now to 1917 - obviously the situation is way different but - Trots or anarchists or whoever, revolutionaries are in the streets and gaining in popularity because the consciousness of the proletariat is developing. That's not due to the work of these groups. They're simply seizing on the opportunity as best as they can. The real thing that's driving this is Capitalism, and more people will keep showing up until there's a revolutionary situation. We just gotta do what we can to ensure that the right people are in the best possible position to seize on that when the revolutionary situation arises, and try to win over as many workers as we can to those causes.
