the "model" is a fantasy. i don't think anyone's afraid of it--i'm certainly not. but it's irrelevant to the present debate. it is not a viable counter-model. what it amounts to is acquiescing to the present system while pretending to yourself you're doing something else.
advocating this position is self-exclusion. it's as if a debate is happening inside a building and you're in an adjacent park talking about how nice the park is.
all it's doing in this context is getting in the way of a coherent conversation about actual problems and plausible ways to address them.
