My parents were boomers. They fought against every neoliberal oppression foisted upon them by the state and society. It killed my mother in her 30s and my dad by his 60s. There were and are plenty of good boomers. The 70’s and 80’s were a quiet war and the left lost but there were people fighting it. Not enough, not well organised enough, against the forces of capital but some did try. No Generation is ever a monolith.
