I have no doubt that some social conservatives are sincere in their
preference for a strong civil society, against both the central state and
the private market, and that concrete p2p and commons projects may be
benefit from such a commonality of views ..

 

however, I have no doublt that at the same time, the political
conservatives, who are mainstream supporters of the present financialized
market form, are using this as a ideological prop to hollow out the
redistributive provisions of the state,

 

I think both statements can be true.

Out of interest here are some comments from people on the Big Society
proposal, and another initiative announced yesterday called the National
Citizen Service:
