Well of course, roachboy. I see an implict relativism that can not lead toward action in your schema, however. If the "real world" is a political narrative, then all your assertions are suspect to the degree that they are polemical, simply doctrinaire - just as you describe mine.

But you don't stop at relativism - if you did, you'd only be able to critique all (fictive) positions. Instead, you're taking (fictive politically motivated) positions on this and other issues. To do so implies not relativism - which would be consistent - but absolutism. You seem to think your positions are the correct ones.

This is a long way around saying that some consensus as regards the "real world" is necessary for acting in concert with others. Political pragmatism - even if it may be philosophically suspect - is required of all who would work for change in existential situations.
