I don't see any contradiction in my claims. Opp lacks initiative and creativity to act effectively without escalation AND doesn't ask for help because it doesn't share the kind of democratic vision of civil society espoused by Maidan. They don't want to share power, especially if it may help emergence of new leaders.

You are absolutely correct and it's also a point I was trying to make - people in general and Maidan specifically should stop awaiting directions from opp. They should self-organize and act in ways that don't lead to escalation. This is already occurring and has been for some time.
