G:
Opponents of DD say that it would be the rule of illiterate
fanatic rabble, a bit like that which is currently burning
clinics, schools and things in France.

Your post plays into their hands showing that some DD
militants despise thinking, knowledge and education.

If you read http://www.world-wide-democracy.net/Wiki/WikiRoot
and looked at WDDM Projects and Workshops and further at
DD Models, DD strategies, How to get to DD?

you would find a chapter Transition To Democracy

(directly available at
http://www.world-wide-democracy.net/Wiki/TransitionToDemocracy
)

It contains the following paragraph:

<<
2.2.1.1.3.SINCERITY.
It is the critical condition: members must be
capable to conceive and accept local, i.e.
personal sacrifices involved by the global
improvement. This short phrase implies a
fundamental change of mentality, replacement of
present egoism with something similar to the
attitude of Israeli Kibbutzim.
If Logistics requires at least a generation,
Sincerity will come still later, if ever,
It's necessary condition is the New Manner of
Thinking discussed and partially defined in
RELATIVISTIC DIALECTIC

Actually, this paragraph and the whole "Transition To
Democracy" is a conclusion of a workshop on DD run by a DD
Forum such as you never saw, such as can hardly be imagined
in prattle lists.

In accord with the wishes of this Forum I continue the work
on the New Manner of Thinking, which seems to be one of
necessary conditions of DD, and inform the public about the
progress.

To the annoyance of protagonists of rule by ignorance and
stupidity.
