The ideal realm, for us, is the human space that empowers the citizens that all levels of social organization and enables the total flowering of his or her human potential, as individual or as member of a basic unit of society. The most congenial systems of governance to the attainment of this may sound prosaic, but their very ordinariness means that the palpable reality of existence is not being sacrificed to some obscurantist notion of the Ideal. The ideal will be found in the very process of the citizen’s self-regeneration, the richness of identities within the community to which he or she belongs, and the security of a system that succeeds in merging the autonomous realm with a collective identity and the fruits of productive collaboration. In short, a stable, non-grudging polity, an assembly of partners and equals, not abstract System and compliant units.
