My reply:
I think I see what you are getting at but, surely, 'struggling to destroy
that which is destroying us now' could be said to be both a plan and a
struggle; i.e. it is struggle to acheive an aim: to destroy that which is
destroying us now. The aim to do away with something is therefore also a
plan of sorts and certain beneficial future effects are envisaged.
I would agree with you if any plans were made without the struggle to
achieve them. After all, theory without practice is a waste of time. In the
case of the Simultaneous Policy proposal, both theory and practice are
present.
Of course the future or aim envisaged by any theory, plan or struggle may
well not turn out as expected.
best wishes
John
