this notion of "perfect" seems basically an excuse to do nothing.
the argument goes:
"no society/government/human anything is/can be/will ever be perfect so anything goes in the present"
as if some imaginary perfect, static Form the only alternative to the imploding empire we live in and it's preference for dissociation as over against thinking about how things might be organized and/or made differently so as to improve the lives of most of us. and since we can't get there, what difference does it make?
as if "imperfection" is one thing and everything is the same within that one thing.
unless it's the Other of the moment of course.
