I'm not sure why 'Nation-In-Distress' makes these comments...they are not grounded in reading the study above. Communitarianism shares some common ground with a Marxian analysis, but it also shares common ground with some forms of liberalism, so these comments are not helpful to people who want to understand what this study is focussed on. Common Purpose (the organisation, not the concept) is not grounded in communism. It is a charity that aims to build dialogue between the private, public and voluntary sectors - it is not a challenge to any of them. Best wishes Rory Ridley-Duff Author
