And yes, we should feel bad about serious fuck ups.
But we should also be clear that fuck ups are a part of being human and will happen.
And that often fuck ups are a shared responsibility. And that usually they speak to a GROUP lack of training or preparedness.

And not for nothing, if a campaign lives or dies by *you personally as an organizer,* it is not a good campaign.
Effective large-scale campaigns (and orgs, and movements) have to be resilient. That means some level of redundancy in leadership, in case of incapacitation, death, arrest, vacation, etc

Or more accurately, the model(s) wrote organizers checks that reality just couldn't cash.
The Alinsky model in particular underestimates how much people will sometimes disregard their own self-interest, and how much they may resent it when you remind them of it.

I kind of think that this (very much along with structural defunding of organizing) may be a part of why the dominant organizing culture of my era did not rise to meet the moment during fascist creep and consolidation efforts.
It doesn't match up to the model.

The reality is, there are sometimes areas and communities that simply are not ripe for organizing, or at least organizing around liberatory values.
Sometimes they're just too hate pickled.
Sometimes they just haven't lost enough, yet.
Sometimes they've recently been burned by organizing.
