Reading: Carne Ross The Leaderless Revolution

What can we do beyond Occupy Wall Street? Political and economic
systems are failing the people, and its time for citizens to create
change, individually and collaboratively. In The Leaderless
Revolution: How Ordinary People Will Take Power and Change Politics in
the 21st Century, Ross argues that uncontrolled economic volatility,
perpetual insecurity, rampant inequality, and accelerating climate
change are heading us into a dangerous period of prolonged crisis.

The play is a huge amount of facts presented in fiction. About 95 percent of this is factual information. It centers on three major conversations between Jeff Fort, the legendary gangleader of the Blackstone Rangers, and Fred Hampton a 20 year old revolutionary who leads the Chicago Black Panther Party of Illinois must have had. The fear the FBI had was that Jeff Fort and Fred Hampton might actually join forces. In the last years of Hoover's reign, Hoover did not want to see the Black Panther Party double in size, and his determination to stop that from happening.
