REVOLUTIONS ARE JUST LIKE ANY OTHER PROJECT
You develop a strategy, collect requirements, make a plan, start work, and revise the plan as you gain more information.
A weak plan is one that cannot or does not change. A strong plan is one that gets better with challenges, because new information emerges from evidence, failure, and success.
Democratic projects are something we all understand. But the democratic era is over. We dont need support. We need action. We dont need parties (demonstrations) we need actions (physical changes). We don’t need consent, we need to increase the existential frictions of daily life, administration, and economy.
We don’t need public heroism (or people who need it to act). We need discreet action over a number of months, by people who can sustain stress of conducting operations without ‘slipping up’ because they’re incautious, tired, drunk, stoned, or otherwise foolish.
The plan isn’t complicated. That’s the beauty of it. The problem is only in maintaining confidence over a long enough period of time.
A government that loses legitimacy must compromise. A government that will not compromise must be assasinated. A government escaping assassination cannot govern.
A government that cannot communicate cannot comfort, reassure, or inform.
