You say that it "won't work," and yet I have seen it work myself and have had it reported to me that it works by comrades on the ground in Colorado, Washington, and other places. Perhaps it isn't a framework you'd want to use yourself but it is a framework that is being used successfully by groups doing mutual aid and direct action on the ground right now.

If your criticism is simply that this is not an appropriate framework for a full-scale anarchist revolution, but that the scope of its usefulness is limited to focused and more narrowly defined actions, you're absolutely right! Because that's what it's designed for. It doesn't even have to be used for political action. This same framework could be used to inject anarchic principles into ANY kind of project. But you're right, that it wouldn't be appropriate to use this for a permanent, ongoing, "grand strategy" level revolutionary organization.
