Im working on a longer response to both your original posts and Joanna's -- which I may or may not complete. But it's take-off point is, roughly, that your examples from corporate life etc. cannot usefully be considered as of relevance to left organizing, where it is not correct nor useful to define organizing as "getting things done." And on the left time and space are absolutely crucial.
