In comrade Davenport’sOrganizing For Power
<https://cosmonaut.blog/2019/11/19/organizing-for-power-stealing-fire-from-the-gods/>,
she notes a central problem with contemporary socialist organization.
Many organizations work according to an informal rule of thumb which
fosters a culture of unsustainable engagement and burnout. With an
underdeveloped separation of labor, these groups are often captured by a
handful of people who possess technical skills which they are
uninterested in teaching to others. Davenport lays both of these at the
feet of a lack of organizational theory within the Left and proposes an
embrace of Frederick Winslow Taylor’s Scientific Management and an
appreciation of Bogdanov’s work as a ‘Constructive Socialism’ which can
surpass previous scientific socialisms as a corrective to this worrying
tendency.
