@nicodafreakshow In short, the dictatorship of the proletariat, built on the three basic principles of
- abolition of the standing army/police
- all elected officials being subject to recall and paid no more than a skilled workers wage
@iniemohk Gorgeous! I love this song so much. Shirley Collins is amazing and Davey Graham is legitimately one of the greatest to ever touch a guitar. Just so controlled but so expressive. Not unlike your art!
@GERWANIDYKE Watch Peter Watkin's (RIP) 2000 film "La Commune (Paris, 1871)" if you want like 5.5 hours of this, but cranked up to 11 and wrapped up in an amazing commentary on the visual language of TV news

@peakcapitolism but the possibility of it can and will be noticed by people who have less interest in building an dynamic organization than in stifling dissent. In my experience, you just don't get good leaders that way.
@peakcapitolism Whole-membership elections (depending on the voting method and local peculiarities, I'm sure) can quickly lead to a dictatorship of the whip-list and a *real* stifling of discussion and participatory democracy. That might not be a bygone conclusion,
