Decentralised direct/participatory democracy. Liberal representative parliamentary democracy by it's nature draws a distinction between governed and governing and between the State and Civil Society, direct democracy on the other hand removes these distinctions.error type 11 said:If the capatalist state cannot be reformed then in your mind it must be replaced. How do you see a new governance method working that will deal with the needs of the people of this country (or any other for that matter). This is something I've been wondering for a while, is there a proposed alternative in place that in theory if implemented would improve on the current situation as you see it
So if you (in general, not refering to Leo) think "the state is shit", how can you hope to remove it through constitutional methods such as voting?
Also, I don't think anyone, even those who partake in it, think the burning of cars/smashing of windows/gluing of bank machines is revolutionary! Though, it was a very funny story.
Sorry for replying, these type threads are incredibly boring, I just wanted to make a point, and here was Oly and Conor trying to steer it away with a bit of ma slagging.
