Road Map for Revolutionaries
2 stars
The audience in mind swings back and forth between middle grade and middle aged. It's lean in activism that is specifically not anticapitalist. There is a fair amount that is useful but the moments of cringe are overpowering. A selection: - 'Standing up for what I believed was not only the right thing to do, it also was a good marketing decision.' - Suggests the sensationalism of using pictures of dead children as a positive in the chapter that's functionally about hashtag activism - Promotes the fallacy of voting with your wallet - 'Let’s face it: Getting arrested feels crummy, and you have way better things to do than be stuck in jail.' - Falls prey to the manipulation of bothsidesism in the how to become a politician chapter
