I am guessing that the aim of replacing "contradiction" with
"disco-ordination" is locate the essential process in
activity rather than logic. This is a worthy aim, but it is
mistaken for two reasons. (1) Disco-ordination actually
refers to behaviour rather than activity, that is, physical
movements that are not necessarily fulfilling the actors'
reasons or intentions. While such disco-ordination can
disrupts norms and aggravate conflict, I don't believe they
are impulses to social change, because the norms are not
confronted by alternative norms - one has to look to why
norms are not binding, and (2) People do things for reasons
and insofar as people do different things for the same
reason, which could possibly cause disco-ordination, I don't
think this is threatening to a social formation. A certain
amount of disco-ordination can be a stabilising thing.
The fact is that social formations are ideal orders, not
just patterns of movement.
