He believes it persists because its self-created participatory cooperation is interspersed with a civil citizenship. This distinction between civil and civic citizenship nicely contributes conceptually to understanding social movements. Mainstream political scientists and theorists will question the author’s hopeful argument about 15M’s long-term impact.\" -- T.D.
