I think attempting to use few words misrepresents me. I'm all about making space for collective action. I'm all about not dooming to despair. But the celebration aspect has always irritated me. I think many activists give up when they don't see short term "success" and I guess my point in this is you have to move beyond that and keep going. But for me (I realise this is personal) branding things as successes when they are not is not helpful and not motivating.
And, I'm not taking offence, but your second half comes across quite patronising.
