Nice solid advice for a revolutionary's ABCs, especially wrt humility and developing an awareness of what is possible in a given moment.

This part, though, annoyed the Hell out of me:

Well, yes, none of the choices presented are perfect or perfectly clear (I'd imagine they rarely are), but which is closest to that? That's going to have to come from a combo of experience (your own or, most likely, your elders) and knowledge

He gets almost po-mo/elvish with his advice.
