"Apart from that, within societies with a high level
of alienation,
such small groups are almost bound to -- some times
for better
some times for worse, often for both better and worse
--
some people with greater or lesser psycological
problems. This
often pose less of a challenge within larger
organizations." (Harald)

That is bullshit on stilts.  The problems posed by
psychological difference are only exacerbated by
large-scale, impersonal social forms where
individuality is lost and where "the rules" are not
bent or broken to include those who are different. 
Foucault clearly demonstrates that the extension of
"madness" to more and more people was a function of
capitalist centralised and large-scale social
impersonal organisation.

In contrast, on a smaller scale, the psychologically
different are more likely to be respected and also to
have bargaining power comparatively speaking, than in
large organisations.  Social relations can therefore
operate in a more dialogical way.
