American opposition movements have always focused on the notion of organization. It has always been their goal to organize the people. Their hope has been to wield the collective power of the disaffected, downtrodden, and exploited as a single unit against the concentrated power of the ruling class. While their hope has been noble, their methods have been foolish. The only effective resistance is a completely disorganized, decentralized, and leaderless opposition. In the American experience, movements that look to leaders are decapitated. Leaders are a liability, not an asset. Organizations can be (and are) infiltrated. Organizations have membership lists and lists are wonderful tools for the oppressor. Organizations take on a life of their own. They struggle to exist and their continued existence takes priority over their mission. Disorganizations share none of these defects. Bureaucracy cannot comprehend disorganization. Disorganization is invisible. Organization depends upon planning. Planning requires predictability. Disorganization cannot be predicted. Disorganized movements rely upon swarming. The many and dispersed are a more difficult target than the large and concentrated. Organizations take their steps by design. If the design is flawed, the organization fails. Disorganization relies not upon design but upon evolution. The motivating notions of disorganization are memes. Memes evolve and memes compete. As a process that fosters evolution, a movement based on disorganization will continue to survive, evolve, and expand without cost. The movement should have no commander. It should have no central committee or governing body. The modus operandi of each unit should be to think globally and act locally. We need to construct a disorganized movement. You need not apply to join. Your ideas, strategies, tactics, and lessons learned should be spread anonymously or by word of mouth. The tension will mount and, in time, there will be an earthquake. When that earthquake strikes, the organized edifice of the oppressor will fall like a house of cards. -Stephen DeVoy
