Decentralized Democracy.

#Democracy

The ills of just about every political issue can be traced to one core problem. Centralization.

[We All Decide @We_All_Decide]

Creating division is what brings attention and success, it draws people to a certain magnetic pole and creates action. Unfortunately the path society actually needs is the opposite. Balance l, tolerance and perspective is what's really needed.

So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key.

Don't fall for the devisive bullshit. Collaboration not division.

Keys to making #DirectDemocracy work effectively

Direct Democracy❓
Citizens vote directly on political decisions.

Decentralization ❓
Power is shared across different levels of government.

Subsidiarity ❓
Decisions are made as locally as possible.

Optimal Manageability ❓
Government is kept small and easy to manage.

The three direct democracy tools ❓
1) Mandatory referendum: Some decisions must be voted on.
2) Optional referendum: Citizens can challenge a law by voting.
3) Popular initiative: Citizens can propose new laws.

Sovereignty ❓
Power belongs to the people.

Federal, cantonal, municipal ❓
National, regional, and local levels of government.

Part-time Citizen politicians ❓
Ordinary citizens who serve as politicians. Civic duty rather than career

It works in Switzerland and the country usually ranks number 1, sometimes number 2, occasionally number 3 in many global indices, such a lowest crime rate, trust in government, innovation, healthcare, salary levels, happiness, quality of life etc., etc.

So maybe it needs to be studied ❓

In my book Alliance, I draw on the remarkable history of Switzerland to illustrate how direct democracy emerges not merely from ideology but from a long tradition of collective resistance and pragmatic cooperation.

The early Swiss confederation—born in three rugged mountain valleys—demonstrates how communities with distinct identities and interests can unite against overwhelming power.

Just as these valleys once confronted the expansive ambitions of the Habsburg dynasty, today’s increasingly far-reaching supranational authorities face a similar counterbalance: alliances of diverse groups determined to safeguard their autonomy.

Over time, those first Swiss alliances grew into a confederation of independent states, each maintaining a meaningful degree of self-rule while contributing to a larger political whole.

This evolution culminated in the Switzerland we know today, where local autonomy and national unity coexist in a uniquely durable form of democracy.

The Swiss experience shows that when people with different priorities join forces around shared principles of freedom and self-determination, they can forge powerful and lasting structures capable of resisting even the largest political forces.

Nope I don't reckon. A dystopia is an imagined society or community that is extremely unpleasant, oppressive, or miserable, typically characterized by widespread suffering, social injustice, totalitarian control, environmental decay, technological exploitation, or a loss of individual freedom. It is the opposite of a "utopia" — an ideal, perfect society that liberty creates.

@TownLiberation Yes providing that there's no way they can be centrally managed by one centralized entity. The citizens of each township have read and understood things fully, would decide from the ground up to implement everything for their township

[We All Decide @We_All_Decide]

@TownLiberation National level governance was only ever supposed to be there to ensure the constitution was upheld, it needs to go back to where it came from. Except that it can't uphold the constitution itself.

DID YOU KNOW
That President Washington established Thanksgiving to give thanks for the US Constitution?
Well now you know this inconvenient fact.
Strap in, homies. I have receipts.

[GREGORY Simon @DirectDemToday]

Switzerland shows what democracy can look like when power stays close to the people: part-time politicians with real jobs, decentralised decision-making, and citizens who genuinely shape laws.

In contrast to systems tangled in big-business influence, regulatory capture and political careerism, the Swiss model keeps government small, humble and hard to corrupt—proving that “small is the bigger way of doing things.”

From my book ENLIGHTENED - A VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY

Two excerpts

[Andrew Bridgen @ABridgen]

The big question is WHO is funding the W.H.O. ? These anonymous donors will want something in return. The World Health Organisation is still seeking total control without accountability of everyone on the planet in the event that they ( The W.H.O. ) declare another Public Health Emergency of International Concern ( such as a pandemic) Power without accountability is tyranny, their funding without transparency is corruption .

[We All Decide @We_All_Decide]

@hottamali02 People vote, but the people they vote for are eventually controlled by others with alterior motives. It's time to vote for issues not people

[GREGORY Simon @DirectDemToday]

My fourth novel on direct democracy follows four friends on a 30-day trek across Switzerland. Along the way, they wrestle with questions of freedom, truth, liberty, and democracy.

In sharp contrast, every alternate chapter reveals a darker future world where those very ideals have vanished.

The juxtaposition of these two realities—one grounded in the present, the other a digitally curated future—highlights with stark clarity what humanity stands to lose.

Below are two excerpts: the first from the digital future, and the second from a conversation about freedom.

@MylindaMas61974 Thank you for sharing your determination and success so far in California in establishing the new republic, quite an inspiration to get back to founding principles

[We All Decide @We_All_Decide]

All parties should fail to get political power in the end since ultimately they only serve their own interests. However they should have their roles changed from power brokers to influencers influencing others. What they say is then important but the final decision should rest with the public and not a political party. @LPNational

[We All Decide @We_All_Decide]

@MAGAVoice Id be up for the concept of Governor being replaced by the People Deciding.

[We All Decide @We_All_Decide]

@elonmusk @vonderleyen As it turns out, democracy is not about allowing us to vote for who we like anyway. Even if she had been voted for by Europeans, it still would not be "Democracy". It turns out that democracy is literally "The Rule Of The People".
