awakening?

I'm slowly making my way through Michael Albert's parecon. Slowly. It took me months to get through a favorite economic treatise of M.K. Gandhi; unto this last, by John Ruskin. The latter is about a third the size of the former, so I may be here a while.

Okay, I think I'm starting to get it, but before carrying this further, I'd like to know what others think.

Do privilege and oppression go hand in hand?
