We already have the dictatorship of the central committee, Brad. I think you're projecting.
As for the snooze quotient of the consensus-based affinity group model, I thought the complaint was that it was all too exciting -- the affinity groupers so far having refused to come to the bourgeois appointed to oversee them (see Naomi Klein's article) and instead gone deliquently about the streets looking funny and making trouble and loud noises. Y'all should synchronize your critiques, after finding a few facts to salt them with.
