I’ve not read Barker, and am not familiar with his work. I was only responding to the quote from him you gave. I agree with the general sentiments of what he was saying in that quote about how politics shouldn’t be rammed down ones throat etc.
Original Messesage:
I'm not sure how you can agree with Barker on the one hand, and on the
other demand "comprehensibility". Certainly Barker is often accused of
not being comprehensible: it's not what he's seeking to do, and his
politics in fact depends on refusing easy comprehensibility.
