Now the feds appear to be gearing up for some sort of show trial a la Chicago '68. They have employed excellent tactical surveillance to single out, track down, and arrest those they perceive to be leaders. Fortunately, some people have finally figured out that a movement that does not rely on leaders for its leadership is immune to a decapitating strike. To anarchists , this is self evident. Unfortunately, not everyone is as smart as anarchists .
Some people still follow leaders.
In electoral politics, we do not choose our leaders. At most, we choose a few of their henchmen. Some poor deluded souls still believe this means we live in a democracy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Only direct, participatory democracy is real democracy.
