First heard Murray in person when he visited American International College during late 60s. Over the years have read and reread some of his work. As then, the ideas and their developmental continue to guide my thinking and my activities.
The study group to focus your ideas to come up with the rationale the philosophy at the basis of your actions so that you don't have to think about what your intentions are at the moment of action I think it's a good idea although as he points out it's an old idea and I don't think that it would be possible to do it anywhere like they probably wouldn't encourage it at churches which may sponsor self-help groups but not anything associated with radical philosophy so it would probably be held in somebody's residence
This is a much mellower Murray than I knew in the 60s. He was the guru that could speak for hours of Hegel. In the end, he rejected anarchism and embraced ecology.
yea - I agree he rejected lifestyle anarchism and distanced himself from anarchism all together later in life - but he also rejected the idea that the worker was the foci of revolutionary transformation -he instead talked about utilizing community assemblies and neighborhood councils as places of direct democracy that could serve as a counter-power institutions challenging the hierarchy of capitalism and the State - which he later referred to as communalism or libertarian muncipalicism (used interchangeable)

Did he really reject anarchism though?
he rejected lifestylism really, people calling themselves anarchists without any real commitment to the ideas
