Being a “radical moderate” I’d hope for a balance between the in-itself and the for-itself, between facticity and the individual will. I don’t think we should deconstruct the individual to a pure cultural artifact… but the facts are that the minority most protected and supported by “the system” are those with money and power… and it’s the same in Communism where a “coordinator class” self-deals all the empowering jobs to themselves, rather than distributing the production decision making process, as with more Anarcho-Syndicalist systems… but I’m getting tedious… I don’t really believe “hooligans” would be any less rude, even if they had an ownership stake in their factory or employment. Emphasis on the state simply means state regulations should be changed… and of course individuals must do this, and also change, alone and collectively.
