There is this delicate moment in time that the movement can totally lose in front of the existing power. In Tunisia, I think one of the failures of this transition was that people who went to the streets didn’t have the tools or the collective capacity to bring this new vision, which made them super weak in front of others who had another vision. In a protest movement, in a revolution, you need to come up with a vision; otherwise, others will take it from you and use their own vision to force it on you.
