Proposition 085 – Movements need no central leadership

A movement does not require central organisation or central lead­ership, but may be organised in that way.

• Explanation. A movement may consist of individuals and several interconnected social circles, or­ganisations, media and institutions. Coordination and leadership functions may be centralised or dispersed, distributed among different individuals and circles, and change over time. A centrally organised movement therefore remains a movement, but central organisation and leadership are not necessary characteristics of it.
