It would be tricksy trying to get checkmate without promoting any

So what you're saying is, the strategy of e.g. Occupy Wall Street, avoiding creating leaders, made it less effective than it could've been.

Not sure, I was just analyzing the chess board.

Although I will say that decentralized movements may tend to shoot themselves in the foot by failing to coalesce around any solid leadership.

There's good ways to do leadership and bad ways to do leadership. A movement can be grassroots and decentralized while still having leaders.
