use my material how you want.

ben, I read the original book the coming insurrection, will read this too.
didn't like the original because it didn't have a plan or any ideas, it
didn't put anything forward, just a tirade for uprising and the
impending collapse which at times sounded like a bit mad.
I mean the writers - imprisoned for sabotaging train lines. What was
their objective in such actions? what did they hope to achieve?
And they didn't even plan them, just drive around and break train lines
something which doesn't win support for their cause (most people support
trains) nor help them directly in any way.
