There could always be a dark matter halo around Allan RP - one must keep options open!. This group would struggle to focus on a light at the end of a tunnel. There is a difference between taking a drink and being an alcoholic and opening a few boundaries, or killing some pain, and being a chaotic druggie. Molly has just played what is either evidence or an evidence excluding card in her last paragraph on mystic experience not making perfect people. Prioritising helps sometimes, as in triage, but look above at Marx prioritising economics and the USA ahead of bring slavery down, or his clown notion on Asiatic society at the British. He was, in my view, an unconscious Christian mystic with delusions on what economics was in his own time.
A plan for the many not the privileged few is a mystic statement without real, detailed planning. A group of mystics poncing around in rationalisation, might sound a lot like Marx on the 'nigger' (his word) as essential to the economic plan of history. My apologies for the term, though not to anyone who can't see its necessary context here. Even the family might not be a good thing RP, in terms of wider green responsibilities to each other and how it generally 'inflicts' childcare on women.
