Dual Power in the 20th Century

The russian revolution is as far away from us to day as napoleon and his brass cannons were from the russian revolutionaries. At its cores, dual power is about creating a counter power against the state during the februry revolution. These organizations seek to build autonomy from and against capitalism. They are no match for the state's raw power to inflict violence and corporate control over our resources. But by joining together to form federations they can become a powerful enough force to challenge the state both directly and indirectly.
