Second sentence does not follow from the first.

Metaphor alert, again!
"Private property is normative"
"No, it's ideological"
"No it isn't"
"Yes it is"
...and on it goes....
the ideology/normative boundary/opposition is at the point of diminishing returns, imo. Isn't that what collective action and majoritarianism in political movements are all about? Politics ain't like science and it's undecideable whether homo idioticus can 'transcend' politics.

How about "question capitalism"?
