What is the metric of effectiveness? What are the measurements of liberation? It may be true that more people equals more effective, but does t it depend what you’re trying to do? If your goals are long term, then it’s virtually impossible to judge effectiveness, but even with short term goals you may not get what you plan or hope for.

For me the goal is to erode people’s confidence in the state and capitalism, and various institutions of domination and oppression. Erosion is a geological process too, and is usually slow, but it’s also inevitable. Seems to me that if you’re fixated on effectiveness, then you’re incapable of being patient. Impatience can easily lead to carelessness, and that would appear to be the opposite of effectiveness.
