I'm not trying to criticise the Nov 2 BLACK OUT. I think a demonstration is always effective in getting dire issues to the forefront. If anything consider this CONSTRUCTIVE criticism..that is its alright to point out whats wrong but lets also state how to MAKE IT RIGHT...whats a BETTER way to do it.
In this thread lets DECONSTRUCT the successful boycotts and demonstrations and find out what exactly worked..what DIDN'T work (so that we don't repeat bad history) and learn how to make the BLACKOUT and FUTURE ISSUES more effective or ANY boycott/demonstration more effective.
NOTE: PARANOIDS STAY OUT. Don't worry or care that "THEY" will find out whats going on because.
1. "THEY" already know
2. Good team work CAN'T BE BEATEN...even if you do know whats going on.
What does it take for boycott/demonstration to be successful?
It seems to me a number of elements need to be set from the beginning.
1. CLEAR cut purpose something beyond the nebulous claim of justice
2. CLEAR and DOABLE goals
3. CLEAR and REASONABLE timetables set. An understanding that the goals effects will have an immediate effect or take time (and have a reasonable estimate of how much time)
4. at LEAST 70% particaption from the people targetted.
5. CONTINGENCY plans in case things don't go well (and they never do)
These are some of the details I haven't seen (at least the first two)concerning the BLACK OUT boycott. If they have been stated please link where that could be found.
What are some other ways to create an effective demonstration?
