The two wings of a movement—resistance and counter-institution building—must be kept in step with each other. This means that counter-institutions that do not politically challenge the institutions of society will be irrelevant: free schools must confront the public school system, community controlled enterprises must challenge private enterprise. However, a movement that limits itself exclusively to contestation cannot demonstrate concretely that it possesses a realizable vision, and, hence, is unlikely to grow. One of the major strategic problems is how to build a movement that can effectively combine both contestation and counter-institutions in such a fashion that out of the daily struggle over particular issues can come long-lasting and relevant structural changes.
