The Hydra Hypothesis is a theory developed by Russell Maroon Shoatz that suggests revolutions are best defended by decentralised, and not centralised, organisation. It is considered to be one of the best arguments for libertarian socialism against authoritarian socialism. If the Hydra Hypothesis is correct, then it explains much of the failure to build a successful socialist society in history, from the fall of the Black Panthers, the assassination of Thomas Sankara and the October Revolution.
