The resistance encountered has come mainly from ordinary people following the pattern of behaviour accepted by the great majority, people wanting to use Whiteway for their own private benefit rather than to further the well-being of the collectivity. To judge from this book, they have carried the day. An account of events in 1937 includes as an aside 'firms where colonists worked', and Whiteway now seems to differ from other dormitory villages by hardly more than the fact that its householders, as individuals, do not own the land they occupy. With each plot fenced and measured 'so that all landholders know their limits' even that distinction carries little weight. Whiteway . .
People feel lost without rules.
To judge by this book Whiteway, set up by a minority of eidodynamics, intended as an example to be widely followed, has been absorbed by the preferences of the eidostatic majority. It has succumbed to ideological drag. One more gallant attempt at autonomy by the tail has ended with its being wagged by the dog. Compare that with the condition of labourers in the advanced countries today, their standard, quality and length of life even when unemployed. The labourers even outside Whiteway seem to have made quite a bit of progress, and they have done it by using hi-tech capitalism, influenced by Tolstoy and his theories, Whiteway, the Brotherhood Trust, the trade unions and the socialist movement.
