It's sad at how the Government that is supposed to be for the people, works against the people.
We need good people that have the Best interest of its people at heart in the Government and not ***corrupt Parasites.***.
I'm a young human activist here in Nigeria and I've received hundreds of death threats already.
But, I refuse to fear or give up.
I'd rather die fighting for what I believe in, than being a coward and ignoring the woes and pain of the masses.

A debt of gratitude is in order for your composition possess sort of words.Thanks for sharing @doitvoluntarily.

Pointed out very serious issue for true democracy

Good questions all

but, you can't get there from here.

The biggest problem with govern-cement is its run by an oligarchy.  A psychopathic oligarchy who has made rituals of psychologically fracturing their children through various tortures, so that they are assured of becoming a psychopath too.

The devil promises you love, but it can never deliver.
The devil doesn't even know what love is.  But it knows how to manipulate lust and lead people on with promises.

The reason govern-cement doesn't appear to work is because EVERYTHING has ulterior motives to what is labelled on the tin.  The affordable care act had nothing to do with affordableness or care.  The homeland security act had nothing to do with security, or our country.  (where in the world is the homeland?  It is not an american word)

A government can be good, but it will take changing all the people in it.  It will require completely new thinking about how to organize, how to measure performance and how to get things done.

Representatives also need to change.  We, for the most part, can vote ourselves.  However, we need much better data about proposals.  We also need to stop this stupid 51% bullshit.  If it is to be a law, in needs to pass by at least 90%.  Or, 90% of the people are already following it, we just need to write down the punishment for breaking it.

Further, elections should happen over about a month, and not be for president, but be for something like, head person for building this road from point A to point B.  And they should be able to fired faster.

And other such things

Yes, yes, yes. I think there are multiple social evolutionary arcs going on simultaneously. One arc contains all of the statist-oriented people who will never veer from the "comfy" power-paradigm they know (multiple reasons why including fear, resistant to change, ignorance, etc). Another arc is the completely disenfranchised, those who hate the status quo but have not wrapped their head around another path. This arc of people spew only negativity, destruction and hatred in rage that is a semi-rational response to an oppressive system. A third arc is those who are completely put-off by the status quo but they believe that rational, good natured humans do possess the power to make change. This arc is currently in the process of linking up (as technology, social progress and general consciousness-expansion is improving) and hopefully will be able to plant the seeds of broad scale social reform. My hope is that this arc grows and is seen by more and more people as simply a better choice to participate within. Until the old system dies (perhaps not in any of our lifetimes) this separate arc can grow and thrive by doing the bare minimum in the old system (to essentially avoid the cage) whilst building the new one in parallel. Much more could be said on this, but I'll leave it here just as a thought continuation from Doit's original post.

Final thought....don't buy THEIR products. don't participate in THEIR elections. don't consume THEIR media. don't use THEIR financial institutions. don't imbibe THEIR points of view. and on and on. This practice takes tons of conscious decision-making every single day but it is the only way to change the world, even if only incrementally over time.

Money power and selfishness enter in and destroy the ability for governments to properly represent.   If we in some way could take out any of those three elements it would be much better. Why should governmental leaders be paid?   it seems to attract greed and corruption...greed for more money under the table and through PACS.   I find it hard to believe that the godzilla monster will give up its power voluntarily.  Thanks @doitvoluntarily

Very nice, you are not almost there but made it a long way. The next step (certainly not the last) is to see and accept that without government the concept of private property changes so dramatically that one could argue it not to exist anymore.

Before you get upset over such an absurd looking statement we should examine how this property right or any other right is to be enforced without government. It seems a pretty lame idea to fill the gap by gathering  a bunch of experts and quickly build something that smells looks and tastes like government just to enforce property rights.

Slaves you said and you are right. The true colors are revealed when part of a country wants to split off. Humans are owned like things. Their owner is not even a person. I would argue it a life form but thats a different story.

As some other formula is not just possible we have examples of it plastered all over history. So what happened with all of those civil constructs? It seems fair to say they were all eventually matched against well oiled war machines send there by governing entities or formulas.

They came specifically to enforce their idea of property.

Its like employee owned companies. On paper these would be the ideal employers. In reality we hardly see any because people rather argue than get their shit together. It becomes a blunt instrument. Not because the formula can't work but because people simply aren't enlightened enough to run such things.

So keep at it, you are on the right track. I don't claim to have answers but I'm sure as hell  trying to ask the right questions. I'm not almost there in that.

I wondered what would happen if not one single person voted during an election. But I guess there’s already a system in place for that type of scenario?

The society will never be given this power , because there will be a lot of fear in hearts of the government and the powerful elites . What if this would change our life , what if it provides us with security , safety ? What if ?

What if I told you that blockchain is a solution? :)

BTW, excellent post, @doitvoluntarily!

Super Post!!! upvoted

Hello friend, so many interesting questions that you ask yourself and I live in a state where all your concerns have been violated, beginning the sacred right to private property!

Wow, I’ve been having many of the exact same thoughts in the past week, on my way to and from work. And now I was amazed to see them in written form, posted by you. Good to know I’m not alone who’s having these “crazy” ideas. And just having it in text helps to further reflect on them. Thank you for this!

All these questions are qualified for a major change in choice. Thanks for sharing @doitvoluntarily.

I like it. Makes me think of that speech Judge Napolitano did on Fox News. Somebody needs to make a video version of this!

Thanks for your writing own kind of words.
Really i liked it. Best Of Luck.
