A reasonable post for a change.
Please, have a look at my "Shadow Parliament" in

Dear friends of DD,

I am a member of this discussion net for many years, but just as an
observer, until today.
Now, in connection with the steady growth of crisis of contemporary
capitalistic society, including the financial crisis, the question of
substantial changes of this system become vitally important. The most
probable solution of the contradiction among capitalists countries and
within these countries, among capitalist owners and employees, is fascism
(see in more detail my text here:
http://www.world-wide-democracy.net/valach/fascist-cloud.html ).
A humane and socially just future can only be reached under the
circumstances of our constant and permanent effort.
How to reach this goal?
We can find many important experiences from our ancestors and their fight
for freedom and social justice (for example see here:
http://www.world-wide-democracy.net/valach/fundamentals-of-communism.html )
.
Firstly, there is no possibility to create a movement, and hardly a world
wide movement through the internet. The beginning has to be in your
closest environment, your villages, cities and so on. We have to establish
a strong local movement, i.e. grass roots strategy goes from the level of
villages and cities, to the level of our own state or country. And, after
that, the democratically elected representatives of these countries'
movements can meet together and establish a real world wide movement.
Secondly, I am afraid that solely the idea of direct democracy is not
strong enough to attract the attention of the citizens. It would work only
as part of complex program for the substantial, i.e. revolutionary change
of capitalistic society. For this, it's necessary to connect or put the
idea of DD not only on the political level but, to the most important
economic level. Meaning to change the private ownership of companies to
the ownership of employees. Then the idea of DD could be adopted by the
world wide social movement.
Private ownership gives huge power to the owners through money and their
influence on the media. In fact, countries are run by the super rich
elites.
If you want to get the support of the majority of citizens, without which it
is impossible to reach success, this movement has to be strongly
democratic and humane, i.e. without any pattern of racism.
Another, absolutely necessary condition is direct democracy inside the
movement or political party, if you want (see in detail here:
http://www.pdemokracie.ecn.cz/cs/doc/Statut-ang.doc ). Without it, every
leader, after acquiring power, becomes corrupt by this power itself. Not
only contemporary politics betray citizens, but the same will happen with
the politics of a DD party. That is why we need strong control of their
leaders from the side of citizens and from the side of the members of a DD
political party as well (see again here:
http://www.pdemokracie.ecn.cz/cs/doc/Statut-ang.doc ).

In the end, you can see the draft of a DD political system model here:
http://www.pdemokracie.ecn.cz/cs/doc/CitConst.doc which puts real power
into the hand of citizens.
Sincerely yours
Milan Valach

Spokesperson of The Czech movement for DD
