"The #resistance to #ICE in #Minneapolis is strong, generalized, and sustained. It’s also entirely #decentralized and #leaderless (or “leaderful” if you’d like). There are roles. There is #organizing—there’s so much organizing. There are so many organizers, from so many #communities and identities.

This, of course, makes my heart happy.

It’s also, I’m certain, frustrating as hell for the #Federal #occupation of the city. They want to pick off a few people and bring them up on charges. That might still happen, but it will be a farce of a trial. If there’s a conspiracy, it’s the entire city conspiring to be free. ... This is a #rebellion against what amounts to foreign occupation."

"One challenge to defining the #leaderless #left is its sheer amorphousness. Another is that few would actively identify with the term. (Many activists prefer to call their movements “decentralized.”) Broadly defined, though, the leaderless left might be said to have a deep-rooted suspicion of leaders and personalities.

We may be sliding into a new age — one of #personalityexhaustion, in the words of the culture writer Mo Diggs."

A day for Wise Men -
No star lights the Capitol -
Leaderless fools all.

[1] The mainstream media won't say "anarchist" to describe horizontally organised protest groups, but will allow itself to say #leaderless. Imagine how silly #leaderlessism would sound...
