Lenin predicted the same damn thing about how horizontal movements are doomed to fail without a principled Vanguard Party and disciplined revolutionary militant movement. And he has been historically proven right every time.
An example in modern history: The dismantling of the Occupy Walstreet movement by the bourgeois state apparatus i.e. the state police, FBI, DHS, NSA etc.
I’d say so. It was an easy read, I only felt that it was a tad long. It took longer than I expected to get through it compared to the other books I am reading.
I’ve been meaning to read this, thanks for the reminder.
I finished If We Burn by the same author. Good book showing how anarchic/horizontal movements squandered revolutionary potential multiple times.
Yeah, I gotta read that, one of these days.
