The question here is: Where are we trying to get to, right now and in the long run?
This is a question we each need to answer, partly for our own separate sense of purpose but also so the "Revolution" as a group knows where the individual members want to go.
We need to look at everything from immediate needs to long-term dreams for the seventh generation and beyond. Those motivations and goals should never be given up "for the common good", and should continue to be respected even if they have to be deferred in order to meet other goals that the group has decided on.
Common Ground
The evidence I've seen shows that asking this question is one way to find common ground in the face of disagreement (even with conservatives, yes). We will need to find common ground if we are not to be "divided and conquered". Seemingly-wise heads may call for "compromise", but the idea of "compromise" can so easily be twisted into an argument for unreasonable concessions (see interpretive framing, fallacy of moderation).
Finding common ground is more about tracing back through the tree of decisions that led different people to different conclusions, starting over with the last point of agreement, figuring out why the decisions came out differently, and correcting the problem (which, according to Aumann's agreement theorem, must be due either to irrationality or information not being fully shared).
