I don't see a lot of difference between rational choice individualism and irrational choice individualism or X-choice individualism. It is the focus on choice and on individualism that structures thought under capitalism. It is from that core which gives coherence to the Engels/Marx thesis that the ruling ideas of an epoch are the ideas of the ruling class. Variations on that core are mostly irrelevant to understanding an epoch.
