The world is long overdue for a completely new system of governance. Every political system we have tried has devolved into oligarchy.

Start reading Binding Chaos today. It's time to take back control. #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica georgiebc.wordpress.com/2013/05/24/bin…

If there was ever a need for political representation or a paternalistic and opaque authority it has been removed by technology.

This thread explores the problems with democracy as per philosopher Heather Marsh. Its time to learn. #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"Around the world, people lamenting the demise of democracy, or fighting for the birth of ‘true’ democracy need to take a closer look." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"Democracy is a universally failed concept, not because we have not implemented it properly but because the ideas were flawed to begin with." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"Advocates of democracy as a system of governance usually hold that it will produce the greatest satisfaction among the governed by allowing the voices of all to be heard." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"If democracy was implemented in the way it is intended by any common definition to be implemented, the resulting society would not allow all voices to be heard and it could not be considered either fair or enlightened." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"‘True’ democracy is at best only one step removed from ochlocracy or mob rule." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"In a society where the majority create the laws, the laws can always be changed to allow for the Salem witch trials, the current Guantanamo military commissions, or many other examples where mass panic allowed the revocation of years of law in order to persecute a minority."

"The celebration of democracy in Burma did not prevent the attempted genocide of the Rohingya people, democracy in the United States does nothing to protect non-US citizens being attacked by the US military [...]" #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"There are two options commonly held to be our democratic choices: direct or representative democracy." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"Pure direct democracy is a pure tyranny of the majority. When a majority rules, there is no need for compromise; a minority will have their needs unrepresented, resulting in governance by the majority, not governance by the people." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"As in all systems where groups hold the highest power, individual rights are always at risk." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"A direct democracy is impossible in actuality as no one can have the time to participate in every decision concerning them, and certainly not to educate themselves to provide meaningful input in every decision. " #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

To make the best decisions, expertise is required on each topic. #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"Direct democracy does not always provide the best solutions, it provides the most popular, the most expedient, or even the most advertised solutions, more frequently as the decision becomes more complex." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

Direct democracy gives equal weight to all votes, the expert and the novice, the completely dependent and the unaffected. Expert opinion is overshadowed by volume, which negatively impacts the resulting decisions. #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

Allowing votes by people unaffected by the issue at hand results in not just uninformed decisions but also persecution of minorities. #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

Direct democracy is very susceptible to a hidden oligarchy, as those at the bottom of the social classes have no time available to represent themselves or to study the issues being debated. #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

Secret clubs and block voting are difficult to combat and also do not lead to decisions of the most benefit to all. #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"At its most pure, direct democracy is mob rule, or governance by decree." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"This system will allow the mob to override the decisions of constitutions and law, and does not allow for a reliable and consistent social contract for all members of society." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

In this form it is hard to argue that direct democracy is even a system of governance at all. Governance by decree is governance by whim, and not just or fair governance under most definitions of the words. #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"If an individual is to enter a binding social contract with a society, it is essential that they see and can rely on the constitution of the society they are contracting with." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

*skipping ahead*
"Representative democracy evolved as a means to overcome some of the obvious flaws of direct democracy. " #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"Representative democracy has become a cripplingly paradoxical system which celebrates nouns over verbs and is far more concerned with representation of every conceivable group than the governing actions being taken. " #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"The result is a system where individual rights are negotiable, bigotry is integral and action is carried forth with no public debate." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"Representative democracy is designed not to care about individual rights but to care about what noun each person can identify with and how strong is the lobby group associated with that noun." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"Representative democracy is divisive, ineffectual and based on impossible principles." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"There are two underlying concepts which must be universally accepted for representative democracy to function: groups may act as individuals and individuals may act as groups.

These two ideas are fundamentally unsound." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"While these contradictions were required in earlier attempts at representative governance, the idea was always flawed and recognized as being flawed." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"As we have progressed to the point where we can eliminate these weaknesses, we have instead greatly increased their use and stopped questioning their appropriateness." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"Presently these two concepts contribute to fundamental paradoxes throughout the current system which can only be remedied by rejection of the underlying concepts." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"A group is a collection of individuals united for a certain time and space by a specific idea, experience or other common bond."#ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"Individuals have the ability to associate, to exchange ideas, to agree, to cooperate, cohabit and in any other way to collaborate, but the group they form does not become an individual." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"It cannot logically be granted a voice, a vote, or political or legal power. It is only in a system governed by groups and one which does not respect individual rights that such power seems essential." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"Conversely, there is never a need for an individual to act as a group. We no longer live in a world where one individual has to make a long arduous journey to appear in person to represent their town or region." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"We need to work to ensure there is no reason why individuals cannot represent themselves in any circumstance." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"If the members not speaking are not interested then they should not participate instead of lending excess weight to another voice." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"If they are interested but do not understand, the system needs to be changed to allow for ease of understanding, probably by use of concentric user groups and knowledge bridges." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"If individual voices cause too much noise, the system needs to be modified to provide a solution. Individual voices are to be treasured, not lost for expedience." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"If an individual represents a group we must ask who will have the right to represent the group? What will they be allowed to say? What will the wording be?" #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"If any member of the group disagrees, if any word is not approved, then the person speaking for the group is no longer representing the group. " #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"That person is now speaking as an individual with words unfairly weighted by group affiliation." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"The individuals in the represented group who allowed this are equally guilty of misrepresenting themselves as being part of a voice they failed to approve." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"An individual speaking for a group is a dishonest mask for an unfairly weighted individual voice in almost every circumstance." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"When individuals speak as groups we frequently do not even know who the members behind the groups are or what their individual opinions are." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"In many cases, the group is just the voice of one, sometimes a person who speaks, votes, exercises political and legal power and obtains money or other rewards through many different groups." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"The group names encourage the public to attach undue authority to an individual voice, to think they are donating time, money or effort to a cause for many which benefits only one [...] #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

[..] "and to fail to question the background or connections of an individual they do not see." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"Representative democracy is very personality driven. A charismatic leader is given authority seldom commensurate with any expertise or experience." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"Where the representative falls short in knowledge or experience, they then have the authority to hire the needed expertise providing a perfectly fertile ground for corruption and cronyism as well as incompetence." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"The representatives are assumed to carry all of the attributes and values associated with the group and given trust and blame not earned by themselves." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"The task of representing others is impossible and perilous in actuality, so the job is rarely taken up by anyone except as an opportunity to further a personal agenda." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"It is understood by all that groups and individuals are different entity types with different attributes. The idea that the two may have their attributes exchanged for expedience is no longer expedient. " #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"Corporatist groups contribute to an extraordinary degree to the most problematic aspects of current governance, starting with the ones illustrated here and escalating into legal corporate personhood and democratic dictatorships." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"In order to create a system without the same failings, these two concepts must be rejected as part of the design. Individuals must begin to communicate as ideas and actions, not nouns." #ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica

"Groups must be given only those attributes which are logical to them, such as the ability to assemble."

"Voices, votes, legal and political power are natural rights of individuals not groups."#ImpeachmentTrialSham #GOPCowards #RIPAmerica
