> Revolutionary movements do not spread by contamination but by resonance.
That line rings true, and not just about revolutions in France. You want to create a product that takes over the world? It has to resonate with users. No, I don't know exactly how to define it, but I know it when I see it. Worse, I don't know how to make it happen.
You want to change politics? You have to resonate with voters, not just have them hate you less than the other candidate. Reagan, Bill Clinton, Obama, Trump, and Sanders resonated. Pretty much all other politicians in the last 40 years did not.
And even though this manifesto contains this line, it looks like their message didn't actually resonate with the French people.
Also, the files seem incomplete? Both the text and the PDF end after page 13, seemingly in the middle of both a sentence and a thought. (Maybe that's just as well, though. I'm not sure I wanted to read much more of that. It seemed to do as it described of other movements: "It's then easy for them to present their idiotic formalism as the sole remedy to this separation." They present their theory of the situation, which seems to me to be seriously distorted, and then present themselves as the only solution. But if their view of the problem is wrong, their view of the solution almost certainly is as well. Anyway, I had little desire to read further.)
