The '''Hydra Hypothesis '''is a theory that suggests revolutions are
|
|
best defended by decentralised, and not centralised, organisation. It is
|
|
considered to be one of the best arguments for [libertarian
|
|
socialism](Libertarian_Socialism "wikilink") against [authoritarian
|
|
socialism](Authoritarian_Socialism "wikilink"). If the Hydra Hypothesis
|
|
is correct, then it explains much of the failure to build a successful
|
|
socialist society, from the fall of the [Black
|
|
Panthers](Black_Panther_Party "wikilink"), the assassination of [Thomas
|
|
Sankara](Thomas_Sankara "wikilink") and the October Revolution.
