Playbooks & literature

The yardstick

The critical path

A critical path is the load-bearing chain of facts — objects, behaviors, documents, rulings, and person-acts — that any serious reading of Playbooks and literature around antifascist practice; cross-link Color Revolutions must handle. Visitors often arrive with their own theory and do not already know these hinges. If a step is removed or shown false, later steps and conclusions that depend on it weaken or collapse. Rival theories must account for each hinge, not skip past it. Sources and timeline jumps sit on each card.
