Where would one look for examples of a historical attempt for working class revolution that was both successful *and* decentralized? Like, a revolution that happened without most of the revolutionary coalescing around a hero-figure?
I ask because months ago I read something (can& #39;t find it now, possibly Aeon?) which argued the successful side of any revolution or civil war is simply the better organized side, even if they& #39;re less popular initially. As the months wear on, people get exhausted (or killed)
and support any group offering organization, even if they& #39;re promises rest on a very conservative concentration of power. It seemed to argue that any movement that can& #39;t rapidly organize/centralize itself when needed could never succeed in overthrowing and redistributing power.
This thread is full of grammatical errors and I read it multiple times wtf. I& #39;m really sorry. I think I& #39;m getting worse at being coherent.
Thanks for reading anyway!
