The lesson of the leaderless revolutions is that to take on power and change politics in fundamental ways, we should not imitate the structures of the existing status quo, but rather choose different ones. In a system of government where all political parties, once in power, are coopted by special interests preventing rule-making that propagates our shared interests, we cannot look to government to resolve our crisis. No politician, no party, however well-led, however worthy, can escape the nature of the system itself. We have no choice but to turn to a much-underused yet unimaginably potent tool of change: ourselves.
