I shouldn't have to explain this, but apparently I still do.

Liberals talk about individuals. Personal choice. Personal responsibility. Personal action.

Radical progressives talk about groups. Community action. Collective power. Social change. Structural challenge.

This isn't only different language. It is a different understanding of where power grows, and therefore where change can happen.

If your answer to every social problem is “what should the individual do?”, you're already walking in the wrong path.

Look at the people, groups and structures involved. Ask who is #BLOCKING change - and who has the collective capacity to actually do anything useful.

That's the starting point for #OMN, #OGB and the #4opens.

Stop individualizing systemic problems and start organizing social change.
