Forum Post: Strategy For Social Transformation

Serious social transformation requires a carefully considered plan with disciplined execution. Through his study, observation, and employment of his ideas in many revolutions Gene Sharp has identified the elements of an effective strategy to oppose and dismantle dictators and systemic corruption. It would be worthwhile to read his work (I am reading it now) to see if you could learn from his thinking and possibly adapt his ideas, which have been effective in many contexts, to our present context of tyrannical corporate rule. Here is a link to a recent movie about him http://howtostartarevolutionfilm.com/index.php/about

His thought is distilled in this excellent activists handbook that you can download. This should be read by all of us in the various occupy movements.
