The classic response to the Tyranny essay: The Tyranny of Tyranny

(scroll down to find it)

which provides an excellent survey of dated rhetorical styles -

"It is certainly true and has been for some time that many women who have 
been in consciousness-raising groups for a while feel the need to expand 
their political activities beyond the scope of the group end are at a loss 
as to how to proceed. But it is equally true that other branches of the 
Left are at a similar loss, as to how to defeat capitalist, imperialist, 
quasi-fascist Amerika."

along with the entirely relevant content:

"instead of recognising the folly of our ways by returning to the 
structured fold, we who are rebelling against bureaucracy should be 
creating an alternative to bureaucratic organisation."
