Quoting Scott again:
"What is perhaps most striking about high-modernist schemes...is how little confidence they repose in the skills, intelligence, & experience of ordinary people."
Confidence is a key word here. We're getting quite close now.
After more Mishnory road, including extensive synathroesmus from Proudhon (subject of Poverty of Philosophy), we get a proscription that leans into:
"[I]t's important to trust that people...will, of their own volition, fight to defend that freedom." 🤔
