To understand who our allies and opponents are.
To learn that tactics need to be planned in relation to how much they do or don’t attract key allies and move people towards being active allies.
To encourage more optimistic mobilisation efforts through a realisation that it is not necessary to win over the opposition to our point of
view.
To invite people into the fascinating complexity of strategising.
