"Navalny began to normalize anti-corruption campaigning, turning it into
something that ordinary people do in their spare time, rather than the
futile quest of lone idealists with high tolerance for risk."
This is a good article about how collective action is stronger than the work of a high-end single player. The Internet is what makes this collective action possible.
Internet Collective Action is people organizing in a nonhierarchical manner to accomplish a particular goal. The reward is in the doing, and how much or how little anyone participates is completely voluntary, depending on their abilities and commitment to the goal. By this process amazing things can be accomplished. ICA will grow so long as the Internet is free. http://www.lisamcpherson.org/pc.htm is an example of ICA.
