I don’t know... spinoza is nice as a goal, kind off. But as a method? don’t know... what’s your take?

I would explore his idea of a what is a right. It's like a proactive approach, a result of a struggle that has taken an effort and that requires additional efforts to keep it or improve it. It's more like a collective investment than a magnanimous gift. So, leaders from GroenLinks would be like brokers and advisors to people who's decided to invest in sustainable development, rather than being presented as investors themselves.

I agree with what you say (more like brokers than investors, depending of the context),but I don’t see how this apply here. We are talking about power struggle. I think I am missing your point.

It's not "a point" actually. I'm like thinking out loud... an investor is more like an owner; a broker is a sort of helper, a catalyst, of someone else's processes... For GroenLinks people must be the owners, the investors, of Nature... not them. They're just brokers, they don't exactly, or exclusively, lose with Nature's degradation. I haven't seen your campaigns but maybe the stress in sustainability, conservation, climate change or ecological balance may end up sending a message in which GroenLinks appears as if asking for help to save or improve something (Nature) that it's theirs...
