I agree that an entirely new set of principles that address connections between the issues being addressed and the broader political/rights landscape is needed. In fact I would go so far as to suggest just such an approach, to each and every new set of circumstances needing to be addressed. We can not allow ourselves to think that one size and style fits all. There is and always will be, various componets to each need addressed, for the rest of time. Finding "What Works" and then keeping an eye out for what works better, should be the methodology of choice. Always taking into consideration the totality of the situation within "Reality", seems to be the most common sense way to organize for or against anything. Negating any portion of the total range, realm and scope of "Reality" seems to be nothing more than a recipe for "What Doesn't Work"!
