The first is that the metric of revolutionary success lies solely in the formal arena of institutional politics, and the development of democratic mechanisms within it. The second is that Tahrir, along with the ludicrously titled “Facebook youth” who populated the square in January and February last year, is the only alternative space in which pressure on the formal arena is thrashed out.

An anti-military protester chants slogans against military rulers during a rally outside the Peoples’ Assembly in Cairo, May 6, 2012. The rally was organized to demand the release of fellow activists who were detained during an army operation to disperse a protest in front of the Ministry of Defense in Cairo. Egypt’s parliament voted on Sunday to stop the head of state sending civilians for military trials, but rights campaigners said little would change immediately because the move would only apply to a civilian president and not the generals now ruling the country.
