"New Tribal Revolution"

The Seven-Point Plan:
1. The revolution won't take place all at once. It's not going to be any sort of coup d'etat like the French of Russian revolutions.
2. It will be achieved incrementally, by people working off each other's ideas. This is the great driving innovation of the Industrial Revolution.
3. It will be led by no one. Like the Industrial Revolution, it will need no shepherd, no organizer, no spearhead, no pacesetter, no mastermind at the top; it will be too much for anyone to lead.
4. It will not be the initiative of any political, governmental, or religious body. Again, like the Industrial Revolution. Some will doubtless want to claim to be it's supporters and protectors; there are always leaders ready to step forward once others have shown the way.
5. It has no targeted end point. Why should it have an end point?
6. It will proceed according to no plan. How on earth could there be a plan?
7. It will reward those who further the revolution with the coin of the revolution. In the Industrial Revolution, those who contributed in the way of product wealth received much in the way of product wealth; in the New Tribal Revolution, those who contribute much in the way of support will receive much in the way of support.
