French Revolution as model, vs Bolshevik revolution
Revolutions per second…
Comparisons of the OWS are apt, whatever the nature of the analogy. The far left models of Leninist revolution are misleadind, and should be put to one side. Analogies to the French (or American) Revolution are equally up in the air, but they can focus attention on the real turning points in the emergence of modern freedom. The Bolshevik phase seems to have gone in reverse gear.
We are talking about starting points: where things go after that is another question. We cannot, and would not, clone a revolutionary sequence, only a new starting point.
