Subject: | RE: [WDDM] Getting the whole picture about DD |
Hi Antonio, I do not agree that this will lead to dictatorship. We may disagree with the methods that are put forward but this concentrates on the differences. Mainstream communication is required. The best way is to introduce “the way things work” into the school curriculum. This would examine the way in which decisions are made. The fertile mind of the child would then ask why? Simple logic would then have them realize that the system is not representative of the will of the people.

It's not for us to discusse, let alone to dictate which forms should take the DD governance. Once established, it will be for the Forum to determine them. All we can do is to see how to get there. Years ago I proposed a way that I called "Shadow Parliament". I cannot be judge and party, so it should be discussed by other people. It's available in http://findgeorges.com/ROOT/WRITINGS/POLITICS/shadow_eng.html I quote here it's conclusion: QUOTE Three issues seem essential for starting to move towards the DD: 1.Getting a Shadow Parliament within the Particracy. 2.Establish a logistic 3 Functions support. 3.Propound Sincerity, which appears to be the critical condition of DD. A very limited experience seems to point to "self applicable attitude". An example: A small forum discussed pollution and found out rightly or wrongly that the worst pollution source is the factory breeding of animals. Besides pollution it involves unacceptable suffering of animals and mental corruption of attendants who become potential sadistic Auschwitz guards. The group condemned eating meat. Not as a theoretical principle, but as a self applying decision and all members stopped eating meat. Another very limited and positive experience consisted in stages in Kibbutzim, confronting fellows with the sincerity of the unique ever realized genuine DD. UNQUOTE ============= |
