@rmblaber1956 @ChrisMayLA6 @HarriettMB There are many forms of democracy that have to, by definition, be an experiment. Representation has had its day.
I don't need professional politicians; I need an accountable civil service.
I don't need lobbyists; I need choice.
I don't need representation; I need a place.
I don't need to be told; I need to be heard.
I don't need divisive tribal politics.
What I need is a fully staffed, well trained, truly independent civil service, guided by peoples assemblies, guided by experience. We can have #Unityindiversity.
"I" can't speak for "others" but "we" can agree, if not we can have a dialogue, there is a way through this and many of the the 99% are experimenting with options. Others are waking up every day and joining the conversation. Many of them are taking action. I am grateful.

@cecallihelper.bsky.social I may be stuck in a rabbit hole or sound like a stuck record, but I am here with some insight.
War is in hindsight never just,it is never proportionate. No state or person enters a war "knowing" we will win. Civilian deaths always outnumber combatants. The results of war continue through many generations and many species.
War is no less than state sponsored terrorism. Ergo end #statesovereignty and replace it with a planetary federalism. We need healing, not harm, partnership, not domination.
A world government built on cosmolocalism & subsidiarity. Nations, states, lands, and areas can be autonomous oceans, and environments would be stewarded. With collective security combined with control of arms, both sales & production, humans could live in peace. Conflict will never be allowed to "get out of hand"
#universalequity #universalequality #unityindiversity. These may be achieved in order for true #justice to be developed.
#peace is more than an end to war, but we have to start sometime somewhere.
I have said this before but I believe its worth repeating (probably again and again)...
Let us all stand for #Unityindiversity on a planetary scale, beyond national sovereignty. A now outmoded model of governance & the main barrier to rule of international law. #universaleducation #universalequality #planetaryjustice will develop only when #patriarchalcapitalism and domination systems are replaced with partnership.
Put simply I believe patriotism i.e. pride & connection to the land you choose as yours is good. Nationalism is not the same thing. Why because #Sovereignty is a #myth & barrier to rule of law. States, nations, regions can exist without it & can be #autonomous.
@scottstarkey.bsky.social Work like so many things, which need to stop, in modernity is measured/valued wrongly. It is measured by tax you pay or profit you make therefore adding to the growth(extraction) economy. An aspect of a domination system. I believe we need to replace this with partnership culture and one which recognises and rewards work which develops and maintains a thriving, not just surviving, society.

As I have said on numerous occasions represententative democracy as an experiment has had its day. The present rise of extremism illustrates this to my mind.
The majority of humans are more than capable of representing themselves. So I hope we will learn from history and try another democratic process involving #universaleducation
#universalequality
#universalparticipation would be a step in the right direction.
Ubuntu is a term that originated in southern Africa to mean the sense of community with others. In the Novasutras movement, we have expanded this definition to include the broader connections between all things, binding together the more-than-human world. It incorporates our duty as conscious humans to participate in this community with reverence, joy, generosity, gratitude, and loving-kindness.

“Globalised economic development has cut like a knife through our human relationships and through our connections to the living world. Rural communities and smaller towns have been destroyed, as people have been forced to seek employment in urban centres. This, in turn, has led to mass immigration. It has also led to increased time pressures, with people running faster and faster in an ever more competitive economy."https://www.byronmagazine.com/news/helena-norberg-hodge?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwNyqDNjbGNrA3KnWmV4dG4DYWVtAjExAAEetCP_JUdBgLFY8x_fhSKTWn_x4zWXeZfFfDUOQ10s9aX7EG0cSuBn73WEZ4s_aem_5P6AqDu0510PgwaQTFJMEw

Without a #universaleducation, we will not achieve full human capacity, including #universalequality or #universaljustice
Paulo Freire called it "bank education." The state makes a deposit and then later makes a withdrawal, i.e. tax or canon fodder. Another domination system that needs to be replaced with partnership.
