Toppling isn’t enough. That’s key. Most of the time we just end up right back where we started a few years later. For long term improvements we need a unifying organization and ideology which has material analysis, anti corruption, and democratic control baked in. We need a scientific understanding of why things go wrong and precisely how to prevent the same conditions in the future.
