hmmm - it has been working for 80 years actually in my experience in the group of Natural Law-yers I belong to - I have seen it work - yes you attract the people who have the vision and the experience of having been unified within themselves, putting other's needs ahead of their own - in an anarchistic manner - voluntaryism and then with that group, putting the common welfare first works - putting the common welfare of Mother Earth and all it's creatures and ourselves first, instead of our selfish desires, would work as well. However, just because individuals are unified within themselves does not mean they will automatically know how to co-operate in a group - hence having a set of principles to use to keep the focus on track... works.
