Thanks, as always for the discussion. In reply to Greg's comments about scale, I'm not sure that I have any particular preferences. In some ways—particularly where ecological concerns come into play—we have surprisingly little control over the extent of our associations. There's an old Fourierist formula—"from the infinitesimal to the infinite"—and to some extent maybe we're stuck having to account for all of that. But obviously at least bringing what is controllable into line with our understanding of these dynamics makes sense, when we can manage it, and we can certainly expect that increases in scale are going to pose all kinds of challenges. At the same time, part of the Proudhonian theory is that it is precisely increases in the complexity and intensity of relations that increase the "health" of the unity-collectivites and the "freedom" within them. Health and freedom are linked to anarchy of a potentially wild sort.
