that Carrol gets things exactly right in this post:

To Doug's question of how to move from "jumping up and down" to
effective change, the answer is *organization* -- and by this I mean
the kind of stuff that Lenin and many others discussed back when.

We need *permanent* *political* structures with sufficient flexibility
to adapt to changing circumstances, including those that fall under
the rubric of "spontaneous" movements (e.g. OWS).  We need initiatives
to build such structures, invest in them our energy, and tweak them as
necessary.  A lot of trial and error will be involved.
