Wolfson is great for all the reasons which Louis succinctly and correctly summarizes - but you all should buy the book yourselves. And I'm really glad Louis cites the examples of Syriza and Podemos, because it's widening the horizons of those quoted like Roos in a way that agrees with Wolfson's urgings. And the tension between "leaderless" populist horizontalism and party/workplace/community democratic structures is ongoing and crucial. From the bio of Wolfson in the linked Counterpunch article, he seems to practice what he preaches re using new tools in structured working class/oppressed sites to organize and educate.
