I think the reason most of us haven't said much about this is that if you've been around for a while (especially since the Arab Spring) you'll remember tons of movements that looked very similar to this and didn't produce the kinds of populist results some alt media types always say they will. I genuinely hope for the best for them, but clearly the recent precedent, especially for these kinds of "horizontal" movements, is that they get co-opted by NGOs and turned into pro-western, liberal states, if not just collapsing right back into what they had before.
