I've been reading a lot of books by insurgents, books about insurgents, and counter Insurgencies

So I decided to put that info for good use by creating this little info graphic

"The Hierarchy of Insurgency needs"

It's like Maslow's but for Rebellion

Rt this if you want

Let's expand upon it starting with Public Support

OPSEC

Civilian help

Initiative

Plans

And action

Two small endnotes

1) an insurgency might not have all of these tiers completely but still act. This is more a general guide to the needs of an insurgency to be effective

2) I'm not a professional or strong Authority on the subject of insurgencies so if you have any...

... critiques or different interpretations, I'd love to hear them

Also rt this thread if you liked it. I worked really hard on all of it

The books mentioned are

Minimanual of the Urban Guerrilla by Carlos Marighella

On Guerrilla Warfare by Mao Zedong

Handbook For Volunteers Of The Irish Republican Army: Notes On Guerrilla Warfare by the IRA

Guerrilla Warfare by Che

Joint Publication 3-24: Counterinsurgency by US military

Have fun with all this info
