I don't know to others, but to me this formula means that no social structure that gets in the way of individuals directly controlling their collective life is tolerable, that social structures of the kind ask to be overthrown and replaced with others that---as much as possible---pose the least constraints to individuals other than those based on consciously-adopted morality and, of course, than those resulting directly from the finite productive power of labor. As much as possible, the immediate limits to people's freedom will be their own power vis-a-vis nature, not one another. Fully-developed individuals won't be gods. They will still be subject to a day that lasts only 24 hours. Spending time producing goods doesn't necessarily un- or under-develop us. The way we become fully developed is not by shunning work, but by performing it better---not only technically but above all socially. My 2 cents. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
