Because then it would be all about the leader and not the movement. Now the trick is to not allow any of these politicians try to piggy back on to the movement with ambitions upon becoming the leader.

2. Agree
All the good movements of the past failed and were corrupted for the big part because of leaders or some kind of cult of personality. Why the personality-cultism? Stop the BS!

4. Like the French Revolution
They wind up with Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and Millions die in the Wars that follow.

The American Revolution didn't fare much better.

5. Buddhism doesn't have an official leader or organization. They seem
to have done pretty well with that arrangement. nt
