DD  definitely needs an ORGANIZED  MOVEMENT of activists to promote

its case but it must not form a Political Party.

A   Movement for DD  (MDD) is a network of cells of ACTIVISTS who

spread ideas and practices of DD  in neighborhoods, places of work,
sites of education.

Membership in a cell must depend on ACTIVITY not merely on agreement
with DD principles.

ACTIVISTS are active in spreading DD ideas.

Those who agree with the ideas but do nothing to spread them qualify as
SYMPATHIZERS

not as activists    There must be a distinction between sympathizers and
activists.

MDD must be a movement of activists, not of sympathizers.

The MDD network must have a co-ordinating committee

whose members are drawn by lottery from all cells.  One per cell.

Each cell appoints by lottery its delegate to the co-ordinating committee.

These people are changed regularly.

Those who served in the committee are withdrawn from the lottery lists

Each cell must be self-supporting financially.

No financial support must be accepted from outside.

The co-ordinating proposes joint actions of all cells.

It PROPOSES  but does IT not DECIDE FOR THE CELLS.

Those who support the proposals - act according to them.

Those who don't  -  don't.

MDD must NOT PARTICIPATE IN  PARLIAMENTARY POLITICS.

If it does it will inevitably become part of RR.

It will become a political party like all others.

DD supporters can support - as citizens - MPs who support particular DD
issues.

Support for an MP on a particular issue is not support for a political
party of which this MP is a member.

Any other scheme will turn MDD into a participant in the circus of RR ,
a.k.a. "Parliament"

                   Fraternally,

                       Aki
