Great post, always enjoy reading them! My only minor quibble is that you center "politics based on ideology" on the leader as opposed to the idea. I suppose I understand why leaderless protest movements wouldn't count as such and I'm having trouble thinking of a good example that arose organically without someone to voice the "unified vision," so my complaint is probably based more on my own personal ideology than anything else. I just think that it's possible for a leaderless "politics based on ideology" to develop organically through the combination of an idea and the opportunity to take action.
