Good points. With respect to Mandela, it is also important to acknowledge all of the "anonymous" ANC members, students, SACP members, trade unionists, etc who worked independently and in coordination every day, and gave their last breath each of the years that Mandela and the senior leadership were imprisoned. All that to say that the success of the South African liberation struggle and the success of this summer's BLM protests point to the need for and efficacy of organizations that can effectively execute with minimal leadership as the situation demands.
