re The people's assemblies they call for people by random citizens are intended to be a means whereby goals will not diluted by spin and a clique taking over. Mark, I'm sure you would know more about this than I do, but I'm wondering what you think about this assessment of the actual power of those assemblies from the "Selling Extinction" video highlighted by Tomski from a link in Margo's post: Far from the radical and new form of democracy XR claims it is creating through its people’s assemblies, the core organization of the movement is both closed and hierarchical. People’s assemblies are called by the XR organization to discuss predetermined topics and are themselves run by trained individuals. The only decisions which these organs are tasked with concern on-the-ground actions or entirely abstract matters. Any decisions concerning the demands, politics, media, or feature organization of the movement is taken away from them and determined by an elaborate grouping of working groups and committees within the XR organization’s internal anchor-circle. The only way to engage with this group is to make a suggestion at the people’s assembly or to send a “feedback” email. 17:50-18:52
