@ChrisMayLA6 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.
Fight injustice, not people.
The people aren’t the problem — the problem is the problem. Try to approach conflict by solving the problem rather than attacking or blaming others.

Three possible futures:
A) conventional world - including policy reform & market forces.
B) barbarism -
including fortress world or breakdown.
C) a great transition an ecological civilisation, cosmolocalism & a whole new paradigm.

We each have a choice, we can each contribute to the future unfolding today.

Great Transition Initiative

The Great Transition Initiative is an online forum of ideas and an international network for the critical exploration of concepts, strategies, and visions for a transition to a future of enriched lives, human solidarity, and a resilient biosphere.

As important as consensus is  the process of reaching it is of equal significance, in terms of cohesion, transparency, unity of participation & action... These things need practice, time, patience, self awareness, compassion...

This political perspective has I believe potential to bring domination and adversariality to an end, this would I have to say include #patriarchalcapitalism
@georgemonbiot.bsky.social
Here's my thinking the following hashtags are the cornerstone of most if not all political ideologies, practices & theories. I understand some "act" more than others & the systems of domination control all our action. But when we choose a label we add to the divisive politics of the mess we're in.
So I am not a socialist, communist, anarchist, liberal, conservative, left, right or middling, I am a human being who advocates whenever & however I can (I know I don't do enough) for #UnityInDiversity #univeraleducation #universalparticipation #universalequality #universalJustice
For me it's not about politics it's about being human.

@burnoutqueen
Representative democracy that's what. As described in this thread we need participative direct democracy, built possibly on cosmolocalism, sortition and people's assemblies. There are frameworks available.
None of them will work whilst the myth of national sovereignty is the trump card (no pun intended). We need planetary citizenship underpinned by #UnityInDiversity #univeraleducation #universalparticipation #universalequality #universaljustice
#statesovereignty must end along with #patriarchalcapitalism in order for #universaljustice #universalequality #universaleducation & #universalparticipation to develop and partnership with not adversarialty to become the guide we need. Creating true #unityindiversity
Everything and everyone matters.
