Why would someone critical of power structures join a movement dedicated to consolidating them? I think your characterization is off the rails.
We've seen this before- all successful movements
are power structures- there's no way around that- but the leftist ones of the 20th century convinced themselves that they were
different power structures. Dictatorship of the proletariat...will of the people...the list goes on.
Talk to any group of campus anarchists, and they'll tell you that they want to replace the government with ill-defined committees to interpret and enact the will of the people. Well, what else is a Politburo, if not such a committee?
(Of course, such committees had to deal with a big conflict of interest in real Marxist societies- the "people" in many cases were backwards, clung to false ideologies, and had to be re-educated in the ways of Marxism-Leninism. I don't think SalmonGod is particularly interested in enacting the
true will of the American people, since they're- gasp!- bigoted fundies. I don't doubt that his intentions are honest, but this path has been all too well trod before.)
A good read on this is
Political Pilgrims by Paul Hollander, a survey of Western intellectuals- all of them brilliant and most of them otherwise fairly critical thinkers- who visited the other side of the Cold War and became enamoured with the bright new societies that were being built, ignoring the atrocities that they were built on. It's foolish to think that we're suddenly enlightened and critical enough that we can avoid this pattern.
