I really enjoyed it. I wasn't politically aware at all for the early to mid 2010's, especially internationally, so learning about EU Maidan, the so called Arab Spring, Brazil's uprising, and other movements during the era was helpful.
Even though it discusses how people with good intentions lose control of large movements to forces of reaction in many cases I still came away feeling more hopeful than JM. You discover how these movements can inspire people and with the right organization and planning it's possible to create a better society through them
It’s good, and trueanon has an episode interviewing the author for after you read it (or before if you want to go in with a general outline).
And for his other book, If We Burn.
Enjoy the two side by side: Why social democracy won't work and why spontaneity won't work
I am yet to read that one but it’s on my list! Is it move close to the top good?

Yes, but also because it's a fairly quick read compared to, like, theory. The read-versus-return ratio is really good.
