Counter-power as common power: beyond horizontalism | ROAR Magazine
"The strength of Occupy came from a political
logic completely counter to consensus decision-making. When people
joined, they did so not because of the movement's horizontal processes,
but because of an idea. They were committing not to talk to one another
until they all agreed, but to join a struggle together with others with
whom they might not necessarily agree."

Occupy was powerful not because
of its consensus decision-making processes but because of its
participants’ collective commitment to a shared idea.
