Chapter One: Archetype
To foment
revolution is to cultivate a thing, to do it successfully you must play on
narrative with ritual, symbol and myth.
Revolution
requires people to see themselves as heroic archetypes, no matter how
insignificant their role in the revolution is, they must see it as a quest
and themselves as the agents of change.

Chapter Two: Symbol
A rebellion needs both a hero and villain, an object of
hope and an object of wrath.
The symbols of rebellion are dualistic, binary
configurations with a zero-sum resolution.
The motivating force is for justice, triumph of
righteousness, the elimination of despotism and the eradication of tyranny.
There could be no compromise, victory is absolute.

Chapter
Three: Narrative
Rebellion does not spread by the experience of injustice, whether from
the direct experience of the victim or from the experiences of witnesses.
Rebellion spreads by the narrative that is related, the stories we tell of
those experiences.
Narrative must be rooted in truth, but must be told with flourish,
generating empathy among the listeners.

Chapter Four: Ritual
Rituals shaped the entire context of a person’s life. Both the patriot
and the rebel shared the same songs, the same history, they shared the same
stories, stories which pointed them to different ends.
Heroes were interchangeable with villains, and with the proper ritual
any crime could be forgiven and any character could be redeemed.

Chapter Five: Myth
To be willing to sacrifice themselves for causes that were merely
exercises in futility, the rebels had to be able to see their revolutionary
movements in a mythic context.
They had to see themselves, their lives and deaths as part of a
greater narrative, a thing beyond themselves that they valued more than their
lives.

Chapter Six: Quest
To motivate the people they had to be convinced that they are seeking
a resolution to the injustices they face, a resolution that they will never
experience for themselves. They have to believe they will find the object of
their hope beyond themselves.
The quest will never end, they
hve to be satisfied with this.

Chapter Seven: Revolution
Every
revolution has a predictable outcome, if the revolutionaries succeeded the
survivors moved quickly to consolidate their power, setting themselves up as
the new overlords and quashing dissent.
They
became the despots and the tyranny continues.
Sometimes
this happens within a single generation, other times it takes two or three,
but the transformation is inevitable.
