This book is very accessible and gives a very clear overview of how to approach revolution. There are aspects of the 12 rules I find difficult within myself…but this may be that I have not yet done the work to see how the future can be laid out according to these rules. Overall, a book which encourages solidarity among the masses and advocates for their freedom and liberation through collective action and a kindness defined by clear boundaries.

This visual guide to a life of effective activism is dramatically illustrated and punchily-written. While the chapter on recognizing your enemies felt too simple for me, much of this brief book made a big impression on me. These will stay with me a long time: the rejection of “smug politics” and how direct action doesn’t just change the world, it changes the activist—developing talents, increasing confidence, challenging prejudices, and more.
