I get the impression that he writes within a rather limited (neo-liberal) political culture - which does lead him into some assumptions I would disagree with - but most of the insights he offers go way beyond issues of political ideology.
Sort of. I didnt find anything useful in it apart from the interesting title. Variants of strengthening processes which end up in either egoism - most of the time - or solidarity.
