I was looking at some old ReadFanon comments yesterday, and I was just reminded of this one
And for anyone else reading this who doesn’t know of the below essay. I think the paragraph that starts with “I’ve seen plenty of de facto vanguards emerge” leads into https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm
That’s a great comment, thanks for linking it! And ReadFanon hit the nail on the head, so to speak, we have to train and practice for revolution, while being cognizant that distrusting any and all formalized structure sets us back, as these formalized structures appear whether we acknowledge them de jure or not. Jo Freeman’s essay is also wonderful for showing how we really need to formalize vanguards, so as to legitimately democratize them and prevent people from naturally dominating the space.
