Notes

1. The "dual pouer" wis first uised bi Vladimir Lenin, but it wis conceptually first ootlined bi Proudhon—Murray Bookchin, The Third Revolution: Popular Movements in the Revolutionary Era, Volume 2, A&C Black, 1996, p. 115: "Proudhon made the bright suggestion, in his periodical Le Représentant du peuple (April 28, 1848), that the mass democracy o the clubs could acome a popular forum whaur the social agenda o the revolution coud be prepared for uise bi the Constituent Assembly—a proponal that would essentially hae defused the potency o the clubs as a potentially rebellious dual pouer."
