A constant conversation I have with some, by no means all, of my European colleagues is to argue to them: don’t apply rules to the Government of Israel that you would never dream of applying to your own country. In any of our nations, if there were people firing rockets, committing acts of terrorism and living next door to us, our public opinion would go crazy. And any political leader who took the line that we shouldn’t get too excited about it, wouldn’t last long as a political leader. This is a democracy.

Well, Jimbino, I'm sure you must be right about much of this, including my myopia. For while I've little doubt that as a country we're very many of these -ists that you enumerate, I've quite lost sight of what any of it has to do with the merits of what I'm actually proposing.
I think that you might have lost sight of something too, however. For if you look back to what I wrote, you'll note that I did not endorse the ownership/stakeholding link (though I do think it bears sufficient prima facie plausbility to warrant empirical investigation of the sort that folk at the Wash U. Social Welfare dept like Michael Sherraden do a lot of), but simply cited it as an oft-heard rationale that can rationalize more than some right-wing users of it seem to appreciate.
