[lbo-talk] Socialism: Too Many Meetings

[mike larkin]

There's a difference between capitalist meetings you
can sleep through, as I do every day at work, and
these emotionally draining mass meetings where the
collective can cut your daily ration if you doze off
for even a second.

.From my experience (not an original insight here), the
best activists grab whatever power they can early on
and then manipulate the meetings from behind the
scenes. So most of the meetings cease becoming
democratic after about a month.
