Hello,
there are many good ideas on the Forum, but how to
realize them? In Czech Republic, in theory, we have a clear strategy: The basic
principle is that it is the people, not party politicians, who alone are
entitled to write and adopt a Constitution establishing a political system. If
you let party politicians to do that - as the case has been everywhere - they
will put in place a Constitution giving all power to political parties. We - a
few independent citizens - have proposed and published a Citizens´ Constitution
by amending the existing one which we consider as only provisional. The next
step should be to enforce a referendum on this proposal. If successful, the
referendum would put in place a new Constitution and a new political system.
Such a system would probably contain many elements proposed in the WWDN Forum.
How to enforce a referendum? Seek publicity by any non violent means; organize
demonstrations, e.g. marches on the Parliament like they do in Poland; a
symbolic defenestration and the like. Try to put a DD person into Parliament,
get the support of some widely known persons etc. The feasibilyty of such a
strategy will obviously depend on the degree of "shakeability" of the
man-in-the-street. Maybe people will remain passive and apathetic. In such a
situation, we can only hope for a global catastrophy. George Sagi has written a
visionary book called "Only from the Ruins". Maybe this will be the only way.
But let´s try to attempt something less drastical first!
